PANAMA CITY, Fla. � A Florida woman who thought she'd won a new car is suing a Hooter's restaurant, after her prize turned out to be a "Star Wars" toy.

Jodee Berry was working at the restaurant in Panama City last spring, when the manager announced a contest for employees. Her lawyer says they were led to believe the prize was a Toyota.

Berry was told she had won the contest. She was blindfolded and led to the parking lot to claim her prize.

That's when she found out that instead of a Toyota, it was a "toy Yoda" -- a miniature version of the "Star Wars" character.

She says the manager was watching and laughing.

Berry says a company shouldn't be allowed to treat its workers like that. She's suing for damages and attorneys' fees.

Hooter's officials haven't commented.
