How do I prank somebody with a Fake Scratchcard?
Pranking somebody with a fake scratchcard is a really easy thing to do, as long as you are not too suspicious about it.
The best way to do this, is to get a group of friends or family members together, and plan your victim. Find an excuse to give out more than one scratchcard out at a time (as a gift), then ensure that your victim picks the fake scratchcard – often one with a big jackpot prize on offer!
