With friends like these...
Has anyone seen the sorry friends who crushed this guy by making him think he won the lottery?
not safe because of language and sorriness. hxxp://www.dallasmontage.com/menu/videoProjects.htm

They played a prank on him last year, apparently.

I am sorry to say that I have secretly found out that Mr. Blume is having an affair with Miss Cross. My first suspicions came when I saw them frenching in front of our house. And then I knew for sure when they went skinny dipping in Mr. Blume's swimming pool, giving each other handjobs while you were taking a nap on the front porch.

That is hysterical! Really mean, but hysterical! I'm trying to decide how I would react if friends of mine did that to me...I'd probably be really pissed at first but then I think I'd get over it pretty quickly...

I played a lower-investment version of this prank on a friend once, to a great deal lesser effect...
A friend of mine hosted a friendly card game, and when we showed up, he had given each attendee a lotto ticket as a sort of door prize. Nobody though much about it, and we went about playing cards. As I got up to stretch, I had the devilish idea to pull the prank. I read across the table at Greg's ticket, and memorized his numbers. Then I walked over to the TV, and said "hey guys, here are the winning numbers..." and proceeded to shout out the previously-drawn numbers not from the TV screen (as they assumed I was), but indeed the numbers I remembered from Greg's ticket. This was, of course, a multimillion dollar lotto drawing, so I expected the reaction to be similar to Thad's above. Greg was surprisingly slow to get excited, even while other guys at the table were jumping up and obviously shocked. After a couple of minutes, someone went to the TV, and the prank was spoiled, which was fine by me anyway. As we were all having a laugh, and debating the ethics of engaging such a stunt, Greg then calmly revealed that he didn't really understand how the lottery worked, and when his numbers were announced as the winners, he though he had perhaps won a hundred dollars or something of that nature, rather than $20 million. So, everyone around him is jumping around and screaming abotu him becoming an instant millionaire, and he's sitting there just pleasantly thinking that he might go buy a nice bottle of champagne with his grand prize. Turns out than the plan worked to near perfection... I just happened to regrettably pick as my target the one luddite in the greater Annapolis area who was clueless about even the general concept of the multi-million dollar lottery. |

This is how the funny Irish movie, Waking Ned Devine, opens up.
At least the movie guy (Ian Bannen) who fakes out his wife got her to bring him the piece of pie he wanted.

Somehow, Quicks version of the prank is much funnier.
