388352 2005-09-14 11:17:00 I can't believe it . . . I've received a snail mail advising me that I've won the "Once Lottery International Sweepstakes Promotions Programs"

Apparently I've won 615,950 Euro . :rolleyes:

This is so funny, I have to scan it at work and post a link to it tomorrow! To think people actually think this is genuine?!

Mind you, I am a little intrigued as to how I don't have to send any money now, but just have to fill out a form to claim my prize? Anyone able to shed some light?

Lo .

388353 2005-09-14 20:21:00 We get two or three of those per year .

Usual story Loh, you can't win a lottery you didn't enter, and the hook for cash comes later when you have mentally started to spend your winnings and have bought into the whole concept .

At that point the haze comes down over your eyes (and brain) and greed not logic drives your actions .

It is not genuine, people just wish it was . :waughh:

Bin it .

388357 2005-09-15 03:10:00 Who has claimed their prizes from Reader's Disgust? I think that if you subscribed, you would probably receive the magazines, but the $10000 per month was an unlikely event. Graham L (2)

Pretty sure its to the left of God.

Or maybe God sits to the left of him.

Its hard to tell, though I'm pretty sure Jesus polishes his teeth and hair for him...
