From our "People do the stupidest things" file, a story out of Mississippi demonstrates the unlimited capacity of human beings to surprise and amaze us. In this case, our amazement is directed at the incredible stupidity of which people are capable.

Two men walked into the Mississippi Lottery Corporation claim center and presented a scratch ticket that they said was worth $100,000. It must have looked pretty fishy because lottery employees immediately called the police.

Incredibly, the two men tried to pass off a losing lottery ticket by gluing the winning numbers on to the ticket.

They might have at least printed and glued on a matching bar code . . . LOL!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Dumb and Dumber.

[Red Badger]

Mississippi’s lottery is new, so these guys may not have known how the system is supposed to work...................

[DesertRhino]

You know... for some odd reason I just can’t get mad at these guys.

[LibWhacker]

Haha... IQ60 stunt.

[Red Badger]

They went for the whole $100G’s instead of a lower prize that they could have gotten at a convenience store................

[DesertRhino]

Really they didn’t do anything Pelosi, Epstein, Chelsea, Hitlery, Fauxcahontas etc didn’t do at a much higher level.

[Red Badger]

Well, now they have street cred so they can run for office.................

[JerseyDvl]

That forged ticket looks damn good.

[Red Badger]

Blow it up, use CTRL and + keys, you’ll see the glue...............

>>>They went for the whole $100G’s instead of a lower prize that they could have gotten at a convenience store<<<

The Barcode is checked with every Winning Ticket, even a $1.

They just started the Lottery here in MS and I won $40 on the first Ticket I bought, a $2 Scratcher.

Let’s just say I have already “reinvested” half my Winnings, but it funds Road Infrastructure and Education.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It still wouldn’t fly because the cards have a barcode so the scanner can read it.

[Howie66]

Nope. Not even a little bit surprised.

Ya know, if I have a ticket like that, I’m not gonna fold it in half...

[Red Badger]

So does ours.............Just education, though......
