FAKE LOTTERY WINNING PRANK AND INSTAGRAM CULTURE
So one of the best things about the internet is also one of worst things . Anything you can think of you can watch and see. This has resulted in people going all out to receive views , acting silly, taking risks, escalating situations needlessly , or playing crazy pranks on loves in the hopes to get views or to entertain.
Of course it feels good to make an interesting cool piece of content , but the lengths people go to these days is really something.
A lottery prank is a prank where you make someone think they’ve won their lottery. You know, make someone feel that their crushing financial burdens are no more and they can pursue their wildest dreams, desires and provide security comfort and opportunity to all of their loved ones. Just kidding. I guess that’s the desired objective.
I don’t think it should go that way. I think that the only successful lottery winning prank is “hey you didn’t win the lottery, just kidding that was yesterday’s numbers , we won we won!! “ of course there are considerable less opportunities to play this prank . But I’m waiting for it, they’ll never see it coming.
Anyways, I had two videos I decided to highlight in this lottery staging genre .
the first is a prank gone wrong video. Here this man exhibits a caricature of what a alpha toxic male stuck in a relationship due to obligations and financial ties would do. I think it’s fake, but I included it anyways. It’s too on the nose 1-2-3, wife, quit job destroy life thoroughly instantly.
The second is definitely real and it’s goddamn excellent I think it’s one of the most successful renditions of this prank I’ve seen.
This did remind me of a trope that went around in the boogie town my parents live in. People said “do you think your marriage would survive a lottery win” which I think is incredibly ridiculous and sad because marriages should become idyllic and have many if not all of the stresses removed with financial invisibility.
