So once every month, me and my friends have a little ritual which includes buying scratch cards. We smoke a few (I usually don't participate in that anymore, but I made an exception yesterday) and we each scratch one lottery ticket and if anyone wins, we all share. Usually there's just some minor winnings, like 3$ and those funds are pulled together for additional tickets the next months. So yesterday, we were six people scratching. And we only won 7$.There were some other people there aswel, who didn't participate. Now there's a few winnings that are extraordinary. If you get 3x clovers, you get to go on TV and scratch another two tickets and you'll win between $1,305-6,527 every month, between 10-25 years. If you get 3x TV's you also get to go on TV and scratch a card, with winnings between $6,527-657,750 in a single winning. On every ticket, there's also another field to scratch which can give you double, five times or ten times your winnings. So, after 20 or so minutes, I came back to the group with a ticket. I went up to my friend and stared him into the eyes. He looked at the ticket and gasped. He started shouting and everyone in the room was wondering what the hell was going on. We started screaming that we had gotten 3x TV's and the 2x multiplier. Now of course, everyone thought we were bullshitting, but when they examined the ticket, they too started shouting! They were so extatic! We had possibly become milionares (in Swedish currency )! At the least, we would getabout 13k, divided by six! I told everyone that I was throwing away the bad tickets and then noticed this winning one, just before I was going to toss it away. They were in so much shock and happiness! They said that I was going to get to scratch on TV and everything, and the emotions were all over the place. They were taking pictures of the ticket and everything! Now keep in mind that most people were pretty baked, so the feelings of joy were like 10x the normal ones. So after about ten minutes or so I started feeling really bad about this. So I told a friend to take a closer look on the ticket. It was a fake. I had cut out one of the TV's from another ticket and pasted it onto a ticket wich already had two TV's. It was quite a good job, not only aligned correctly, but even someof the "background bent lines" were aligned so that it was almost impossible to tell that it was a fake. It soon became apparent to the rest of the crowd that it was a fake. Everyone was so devestaded! I had let two people in on it, the two people I first showed the ticket to, in order to enhance the effect. My only regret is that I didn't videotape their reactions, but I didn't think they were going to fall for it, since I always prank them XD No hard feelings, they gave me kudos for a great prank. =)
Nice Virre! Very awesome Although it's kinda sad that you didn't win :/ XD Well better luck next time
Haha... You can actually buy joke scratchies here in gag stores. I remember someone gave my girlfriend some at one stage, mixed in with real ones. It was the last one she scratched and of course, it said you had won 10,000 if i recall correctly. Her reaction was amazing.. she screamed and everyone around her believed it. I looked at it and just had a feeling from the start...Since I had never seen that type before. Sure enough, was a fake. However, reactions if caught on camera would be been awesome!!
Wow.. I just read back that last post... (I was drunk when I wrote it) I just LOL'd at my style of writing! go me!
Thanks for the comments =) Also, updated with picture of the ticket, teehee Haha, yeah I've seen a video of someone doing that to some girl on AFV! I totally wish we had those fake scratchies here as well
