| it is rare that April 1 falls on a Saturday, so this can not be used every year.
This works better if you buy a lottery ticket every week, but you may be able to pull it as a `one off' job.
Either stay up late on Friday night, or get up early on Saturday morning. Check the lottery winning numbers from the friday night draw (Super 7 in Canada) run or drive to the nearest quiki-mart and buy a ticket for next weeks draw using this weeks winning numbers. (you see where this is going)
When your other half gets up, go through the normal morning routine then looking at the paper or computer exclaim "OMG! OMG! check this, I think we have something..." then let your SO compare numbers on the ticket to the winning numbers.
Note it is VERY important to stop your SO before he/she calls the boss and tells them what to do with their job. |
