Those tickets remind me of my brother. Somebody gave him a gag lottery scratch off ticket once and he took a look at it and said it wasn't real so he got in an argument with the guy who gave it to him. I kind of think if you're trying to play a joke on someone and they call you out on it right away it's time to just give up and not continue try to talk them in to playing along.
I dont play lotteries. Even when they claim to be for the benefit of some charity most of the money just disappear in paying for distribution of the tickets and for the money transfers needed to collect the money paid.
Ive tried a few times but I just cannot find a 'thrill' anywhere in there.
