People fall for anything- Guy "posts" his winning lottery ticket

CLEARLY this ticket has been photoshoped. VERY VERY clearly.

He says if you share he will pick one random person to win $1,000,000.

People are fighting with me that I have no idea what I'm talking about......Chat Icon Chat Icon I guess people want to believe ANYTHING.

I hope this guy gets what he wants. This will go viral and you will see it on Facebook. Don't share it (IMHO).

And I keep checking. 100+ people are sharing it a second.

ETA: The numbers ALWAYS print in number order, not random.

Why does that make people dumb?

I have no idea how lottery tickets print out, so I'd probably be dumb and fall for it too.

Re: Dumb people fall for anything- Guy "posts" his winning lottery ticket

The only thing I noticed is that one of the numbers is cut off, and I used to work a lotto machine - that would NEVER ever happen.

I didn't share but I did see a few friends share, I must have some dumb friends Chat Icon

Want to clear up I was wrong, and changed the title to "people". I should not have said dumb.

Thats what I'm sayin!

About an hour ago there were 100 likes a second. He is up to 1,000 likes a second.

He will get his 15 min :)

Or a bunch of pissed off people asking about who wins the million.

I *BET* you someone will sue over it. Mark my words!

Guys also, you better share that privacy contract or else your pictures are no longer copyright. And while you're at it, share that one about the asteroid too or else you may die.





...I just make a general practice not to repost or share things on FB unless I'm directly connected to them.

I was so very tempted to take a pic of me holding our losing tickets and saying "Share this and I will randomly choose one person to win a dollar" Chat Icon

I didn't "share" this, just couldn't be bothered, but how can you tell that it is "CLEAR" its photoshopped. I'm so bad at being able to tell this stuff.

If you have bought lottery tickets before, you know the numbers are in numerical order. The font doesn't look like that either.

That and the black lines. When you make a photocoy, and there is tape, sometimes there is a black line.

I feel bad for people who thought this miht be real.
