One year my cousin did the fake lottery ticket gag. His wife's best friend did the scratch off. Thought she was a $25,000 winner. Doing the happy dance thru the house for 15 minutes acting like an idiot (not hard for her). Someone finally got her calmed down enough to read the back of the ticket. She then went bezerk....

Note to self... Never do the fake lottery ticket gag when there is ANYONE who might remotely take it seriously...
