Love it or hate it, April Fools’ Day isn’t going away anytime soon. April 1st is when even the most serious person can release his or her inner prankster without shame. Of course, if one isn’t careful, the prankster can become the pranked! It’s good to remember, though, that these pranks should be in good fun. After all, we could all use a good laugh these days. Would you believe that as much as lotteries like to troll, they’re not prankster types?
Mega Millions certainly wasn’t about pranks Friday night. A {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat was serious business, even more when it pushed the jackpot up to $81 million!
