Sorry but you have got me confused    Huh Huh Huh

Obviously, you ain't the only one.  Tongue Tongue Tongue

Here's the scam: The owner of the restaurant or, at the very least, one of its agents, staged the event to bring awareness to the restaurant via a hopeful to-go-viral video depicting euphoria upon the staff learning that it had won the lotto jackpot. The YouTube channel is new, and upon viewing the uploads, one can easily see that the event was staged, again for the sole purpose of bringing awareness to the establishment.

Here's the rub: Would you now trust frequenting the place and having the staff serve you food after they've been caught lying about a lotto winning? If they're willing to lie about this big event, are they also lying about washing their hands after going to the bathroom prior to preparing and serving you your order?

Somewhere in Kansas City, Sonny Vleisides is reading this and calling the old gang, "Josh, I'm putting the band back together and restarting BFL. Why? Because I just realized we barely tapped the retard segment of the world. Yes, there'll be cake."

And, I've just read for the first time a comment of a dude who also figured out the scam.

They still were at the same odds of winning, it's not like the numbers are taken out when they've been picked in another drawing..

You still don't get it, do you? Surely, you ain't one of them StakeMiners Investards are you?

Please try again.

Meanwhile, take a look at their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdk1W4nwMqqkZvxIBMm8D9w

Okay, just read for the first time that some other did indeed catch it: https://www.facebook.com/Grissini/posts/10153221120096561?comment_id=10153221165676561&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D

Michael Jay The question is...
Since they're not quick picks, some jackass thought to choose the same winning numbers that came out already...

You should find someone else to purchase your pool tickets

But, that's not the scam of which I've yet to read some other pen.

Hint 2: The restaurant's about to loose all cred if they don't immediately get in front of this story unless they have a Leroy Fodor- or Marshall Long-type running the joint opting to continue the lie.

So they bought a couple of hundred bucks worth of tickets and may have selected numbers from other lottos when they were picking them?

Not really a scam, is it?



You missed the scam. Please try again.

Workers at a New Jersey restaurant thought they had won the $949m Powerball jackpot, only to later realize they were looking at the wrong day's numbers.

The staff at the restaurant collectively pooled $210 on tickets hoping they could take the prize.

The ticket was purchased between Wednesday's drawing and Saturday's drawing. The non-winning number is first on the list. The second number on the list is 05 06 15 29 42 10. You ready for this?

Full Disclosure: I didn't take the time to research C, D and E' numbers, but I'm willing to bet that they too were winning numbers for some recent lottery drawing here in the US. Feel free to disprove me wrong on that particular count.
