    The pair of them seem a bit nuts. It`s a very weird thing to do and he cost a lot of trusting people a lot of money.

    A guy in my home town didn't exactly win the lotto, but he got an awfully dirty trick played on him by his mates one Sat night.

    The story goes as so.....

    A few of this lads 'mates' bought him a ticket for his birthday, but unknown to him, they did the numbers from the previous Saturday nights lotto draw, then in the pub, they showed.the recording of the previous Saturday nights draw........

    Anyway, the fella obviously thought he'd won the lotto, drinks on the house, basically told a lot of folk what he thought of them, including calling his boss at three in the morning, blind drunk telling him he quit (in not such a nice way) and basically called him a cnut.

    It was prob around eight pm the next night when the partying finally ended, and after splurging out a lot of money (much of it savings and credit) he finally could drink no more and headed home.

    Anyway, the sorry r goes that he finally sobered up some time on Monday morning, did what he should have done at the start, and checked the teletext results (this was before smart phones and internet etc)

    He was gutted, shocked, and disgusted at how his mates could have tricked him, let him borrow so much money (to buy them drink) chucked his job, erg etc etc.


    His Mam reported that he was in a state of depression for a few days, until one evening he returned home, smelling very strongly of alcohol, muttered a few words to his Mam, headed up the stairs to his room, and that was it. Next thing his Mam heard was the 'bang'


    Sad story :mad:
