I watched the clip below with mixed emotions, on one hand I thought it was really cruel, but on the other I couldn’t help but laugh through most of it.

Some of the language is not work safe.

That just ain’t right. But funny nonetheless.

Na, that was just cruel.

They have fake scratch off tickets you can buy and give to people that show they won $10,000 - same kind of thing.

If someone did that to me, that would be the last time I ever had anything to do with them.

And the poor schmuck on the video…did you hear him say “ **we** won!”…he was willing to share and played fair. Doesn’t sound like someone I would want to torment.
