Examples That Prove One Detail Can Turn a Story on Its Head

A guy at my old job gave me a lottery ticket. I scratch it. It’s a 10k winner.

Later, he stopped by and asked if I scratched it yet, and I said no. He left. My heart was beating like crazy. I decided to say it wasn’t a winner the next time he drops by.
I turned it over to read how to redeem it and saw that it was a prank ticket. I’m glad I saw that before he stopped by again. © I_Dont_Like_Rice / Reddit
