adioco.com jackpot promise is freezing Mozilla. Any experience?

while browsing in Firefox on an IPad, a window appeared with, "https://www.adioco.com Hurrah! You have a chance to win a HUGE Progressive jackpot!" and a button with OK. Everthing else is frozen and even turning the IPad off does not remove this message when Firefox is restarted. There is no information on "Idioco.com" when searched in Google. Anyone aware of how to get rid of this issue without accepting the offer?

PK, I was trying to solve the issue for my wife and she took the IPad to the Apple store, where they cleared the problem and cleaned the IPad of any reference to the site. I will report the site as you have suggested. Thanks
