Wow I can’t believe it. I just got an email saying I’d won like a bazillion pounds (that’s a lot right?) in the Irish Lottery.
When I combine these winnings with the Nigerian lottery and the Spanish lottery I won this week I shouldn’t have to preg-check any more cows.

Was it Northern Ireland? I don’t think the Republic uses pounds, you know… 
Amen, brother. 
Sounds like whoever ran that scam isn’t up on Irish currency! They use the Euro there these days (before that it was the Punt…yeah, “pound,” but at least it was in Irish!).
Reminds me of when I went into the bank to order some English money for our trip last year. The young fellow I spoke to said “of course we’d be happy to order Euros for you!” I explained that England doesn’t use the Euro, but he didn’t quite believe me, and had to look it up before he’d place the order!

You may have won the Irish lottery but I’ve won the Netherlands lottery about twenty times.
Lotteries are abominations. I hope I never win one.
Speak for yourself. I’ll gladly be abominated right now. 
Hmm, it seems we might all have to share!

I am positive that I’m going to win the Mega Millions this week. Although it would probably be helpful if I buy a ticket 
Hey, Doc, can a borrow a couple of million. It’s for a good cause
Well, we’re all rolling in it, aren’t we? The other day I received an e-mail from the IRS IN NIGERIA telling me than I was owed backtaxes to the sum of “$63.17” EXACTLY!!! Lalala…I’m in the money…lalala.
I play the Lotto once a month if I feel like it, and only the same numbers everytime. For anyone who wants to know them, they are:

If you play them, hope you guys have good luck! 
I think I see the catch here …
Bazilian pounds aren’t worth much. Bazilia is an obscure third world country, and the rate of exchange is about 100 Bazilian pounds to the dollar.
Best wishes,
Jerry
So like, how much does this Bazilian guy weigh?

Congratulations, Lambchop, on the wittiest post I’ve read in years. If it isn’t original, please never tell me!
In the latest scam they actually send you money!
Well, a cheque.
A forged (stolen) cheque on some company’s account.
And you have to send a proportion of that cheque back to them to cover “taxes”.
And if you were gullible enough to cash the cheque you will be liable for the full value of the cheque, even if you were also gullible enough to send off another cheque of your own. Because those cheques can be traced!
Heigh ho! Keep your eyes and ears open!
That’s why you should only cash checks and never cheques.
Naw, check that! Don’t cash no checks either! (Nor Czechs…)
