“The Winning Ticket” via TiVo

December 30th, 2005 by George Burnett
After a fake craps dice prank on Thad during Haasfest 2004 was so successful, we had to come up with something for Haasfest 2005 that would top it. The idea was to pre-record a Texas Lotto drawing and a save it on the TIVO. We bought a lottery ticket with the numbers to match that pre-recorded lottery drawing. The day of Haasfest, we asked Thad stop on his way over and buy a couple Lotto tickets. At some point in the night, we swapped the tickets he had bought with the fake tickets. If you ever wanted to know what it felt like to win the lottery, just watch Thad check his numbers…

I’m not sure if this is seriously mean or the funniest thing ever! Take a look and let me know what you thought…

Also I can’t find any information on Haasfest anywhere on the net… does anybody have any idea what that is?
