April fools Updated 25/7 2000

A good one for the first of April was done by an English woman who every week

used to bet money on the loto game for her husband and the family. (In the lotto game

you pick a few numbers out of 1-40 and the one(s) having picking the numbers all

correct win up to millions of dollars (or pounds for that matter). Millions of people

watch it on TV every weekend.

However the chance of winning the big money is of course microschopical.

What she did was to record the TV show the week before on video tape, and during

the week, bet money on that same numbers.

So when the Lotto show was to begin on the first of April she turned the video on

and called for her husband “Hey- it begins now”.

And there he was watching last week´s show and all numbers popped up correctly

matching their bet. Can you believe how happy he was dancing his way through

their house.

She let him be for about a minute and then told him about it.
