When i was about 7 or 8 years old, I thought that the "Lucky Numbers" at the bottom of a fortune from a fortune cookie were the winning lottery numbers. So I set up a lemonade-type stand that read, "Winning Lottery Numbers, $100" which i thought was a bargain, since you can win millions from the lottery, until my mom came out and forced me to close it because she could get arrested! LOL!
