The British Lottery.

The Connie: Wooh! I won the British Lottery!

Daughter: What makes you think that?

The Connie: look I got this email. It says “We are happy to inform you that you have won the sum of £520.731.00 from the monthly British National Lottery Promotion.”

Daughter: Let’s think about this for a second. Did you enter a lottery?

The Connie: No. But it’s because I’m British, no?

Daughter: Let me guess.  They are asking you for information to confirm your identity, right?

The Connie: Yeah. They need name, address, and a bank to wire the money to.

Daughter: Doesn’t that sound a bit suspicious?
