SWITCHED TICKET

In Oxford, England, a man who had been buying several lottery tickets every week for the last two years was in his local bar as usual, watching the lottery numbers being drawn on television. On this occasion, it turned out the man had got five of the six winning numbers and stood a good chance of winning tens of thousands of pounds, so he bought everybody in the room a celebratory round of drinks and had several himself. Dreaming about how he would spend his fortune, the man passed his ticket around for people to inspect. However, when he eventually came back to him, it wasn't the same ticket. Someone had switched it on him!
