Antilag.com's 230k melb cup winner

[MrMike]

Last week some of you may heard on the radio of the "lucky perth punter" that won $230k of a $25 mystery bet on the melbourne cup.

Well it was all a hoax, each year Joe aka BALISTIC has a bit of a joke that he won big coin, again did it this year but decided to email his fake ticket to Perthnow.com. From their it just snowballed into a piss funny story.
Joe contacted ABC's Mediawatch and tonight the story was aired.

Just goes to show how stupid and naive the media can be, fact checking pfft whats that.

Melbourne cup sucked le ass this year. Drunken fools be all up in ma face with their obnoxious-ness and stupidity. One lass behind the bar made $140 in cash tips... I made $4 and that was money I stole off the bar. At least people liked my hatternator.

I fail to see how this is different from *every* year.

Yes, every year is bad but this year year was worse because I was working :-p How hard is it to understand 'cash only' means cash only?! Signs everywhere yet people still waited in line for 10 minutes to place a bet only to hand over a debit card/ credit card/ cheque! Morons! These people breed like it's an obligation. That scares me.
