Fake lottery wins...as a gift !
Not long after the Lottery first started, a lady played an April Fool on her husband. She recorded the previous week's Lottery Draw then bought a ticket with the winning numbers. The following Saturday ( April 1st) she switched on the video then asked her husband to check the numbers........he thought they had won the jackpot. I think she took several days to tell him the truth :shock: wonder if they are still together??
I like to think I would have seen the funny side of that......

This happened to mrs777 a week before Christmas.
The " ticket " was put into a Christmas card by one of her so called friends.
At the time I thought it strange to do this but was told people do it a lot nowadays. Well anyway the card was scratched and hey presto, 25 grand winning ticket.
As you can imagine there were a few signs of happiness, and even I fell for it as the ticket looked so genuine.
I took it over the shops still a bit cynical and was proved right when the shop keeper said it was not a real ticket. I then had to go home and tell everyone the bad news.
Mrs777 was furious to say the least and upset, and I felt a real shitty thing for a so called friend to do. The problem was it did seem very genuine as the tickets are so real.
In hindsight, which is a wonderful thing to have after the event, yes it sounds like we were all a bit naive, but there you go.
Hence to say they are no longer friends as her mate just thought it was very funny, well the recipient may not agree.
I think a nasty trick to play and cannot understand peoples humour over things like this. Odd bods indeed if people think this can be remotely funny.

it's not really naivety... It's quite a common thing, and the basis of a large number of scams, to make people believe that for once they've struck gold.
I sort of can see the funny side of it if you reveal it's a fake straight after the first moment of elation..
but to let somebody actually believe it to be real for a day or two, and probably start making plans about how to spend the money, in the back of their minds...is just cruel and stupidly inconsiderate

if any one dd this to me thinking it was funny id like to see how funny they found my foot up their arse.
some people are suffering depression, anxiety ,stress relationship break downs and even suicide when it comes tomoney and debts,
to then do this to them is damm right sick.
we all imagine winning or comming into a windfall. to experience a high of thinking youve won 25k then to find out someone thought it funny to put you through this, especially if youve called family and they think their money worries could be lifted.
its so sick,i really think it should be banned, its not funny.

I think its absolutely hilarious.
Prey may I ask why you would find something like this so funny?
It is a nasty trick to play, and to find this " absolutely hilarious " flys in the face of your signature.
It happened to mrs777 and I can assure you there is nothing to laugh about. But then again some people can find death amusing.
i still dont see what is funny about treating a "friend" in this manner.
or do some people get off on causing upset?
i know i wouldnt want to be the person responsible for potentially tipping someone over the edge into depression, or do we find peopel suffering from that or other mental ill health funny when its due to debt,loss of homes,families etc? tobe offered a life line of hope by a "friend" then tofindout ohnoits just a huge hilarious joke????
ffs

I often buy a lottery ticket and stick it in a birthday card. I'd never buy a fake one! How shit is that? 
What a mean thing to do.

That is something I could answer, but on this occasion will say nothing....
i wouldnt recomend doing that,
its flyposting and Flyposting is illegal and those responsible can be prosecuted through the magistrates’ courts. Where an offence is proven fines of up to £1,000 per poster.
its slightly different to make someone think they have a £40 ticket than togive a friend a fake lottery tickets.
some peopels ideas of funny are mental.

Can you not imagine a blustering pompous self obsessed personality believing they have a lottery win and toddling off to the local newsagents. No harm done and instant hilarity.
What about an ordinary Joe who believes that his money problems may well be over toddling off to the local newsagents? No instant hilarity there.
I have just read another of your posts where you say people deserve respect.........I think your respect is very selective!

I wonder who you are thinking of?
Oh I wish.......
In this case I think Bens remarks childish and facile probably meant to goad rather than to add anything meaningful to the topic. Eh Ben?
Heaven help someone smashing into a thread ben thinks worthy of thought out responses with the same sort of remarks! Lordy no!
Lost in confusion as too why here
You have me quite wrong on this one Lost.
Doing it to a meek retiring self effacing individual living in povrty is cruel and sadistic and not terribly funny.
Doing it to an individual such as I described is cruel and sadistic and very funny.
On that basis I wouldnt do it to the first category but I confess I would be tempted to do it to the latter although I dont do practical jokes very often simply becasue of the cruelty aspect.
On another thread we had a discussion about practical jokes to play on a nasty boss. Now if I had a boss who was up his own arse and making my life a misery this would be perfect.

Only to people with very large chips on their shoulders!
trouble is it's always hard to tell.
if it's somebody you know very well and know the family situation off, you might be tempted to do it, but you wouldn't, I guess, because you care abou those people and it's a cruel joke no matter what.
if it's somebody you despise for whatever reason but don't know very well...then..well, it's too easy for such a joke to go horribly wrong.
even the most stuck up arse might have problems they don't share with you or anyone else.. a sick relative who needs costly care, troubles on the job, health issues they keep shtum about.. a wad of money might bring their hopes of solving part of these issues up..
only to be crushed when the game is up.
I'm not saying everybody who is an arse is so because he has problems at home, or that people can't just be mean, I know people who are... I just don't presume to know people that well to want to judge them or put such a potentially "cruel" prank in existence.
for that reason I choose not to pull such a joke, because on average, the chances of it being misunderstood and actually hurting people are too high.
