The winning ticket · ready in a minute

Make them think they won the lottery.

A real finished report, start to end. This one was built around Michael.

The local news reports that a winning ticket was sold in their town and nobody has claimed it. Then the store's security footage goes up on screen — and it's them at the counter. The clerk even remembers their name.

The 37 seconds they'll watch

How the story plays out.

Every report runs the same way a real segment would — and every line below is the actual script.

01

“Our top story tonight. Lottery officials are trying to find whoever bought a winning ticket at a store here in town. Take a look at this.”

Anchor, on camera. Their town is already in the headline.
02

“This is the surveillance image the store here in their town handed to lottery officials. That ticket is worth $38,000 — and four days on, no one has come forward.”

Their photo, rebuilt as timestamped store security footage, fills the screen.
03

“Here's a closer look at his face.”

Three seconds, tight on them. Long enough to recognize, short enough that nobody studies the shop.
04

“The clerk who sold that ticket told us she remembers the customer. She's almost certain he goes by their name.”

Their name, full width on a quote card. This is the moment people stand up.
05

“If you're watching tonight, the commission says you have one hundred and eighty days to come forward.”

Back to the anchor for the sign-off.
06

The winning ticket

Lottery officials are hunting for whoever bought a winning ticket in their town. Then the store's security footage goes up on screen — and the clerk remembers a name.

Needs: their photo, first name, city

Coming soon

The highway project

A proposed highway corridor enters public comment, and their house sits directly in the path. You upload the photo of the house yourself.

Needs: photo of their home, city

Tell us your own

Something only your family would believe. Describe what happened and we'll write it as a news segment.

Needs: your idea, and the details to sell it

How it works

You give us the details. We make the news.

Send the evidence

A clear photo of their face, their first name, and the town they live in. That's the whole form.

We build the report

Their photo becomes store security footage. Their town runs in the headline. The anchor names them on air. Your report is ready in about a minute, and you watch it in full before paying.

Put it on their TV

Open your link and cast it to the television — this is the part that sells it. Then start recording, and stand somewhere they can't see you laughing.

Why it lands

This isn't a template with their name dropped in.

Plenty of apps will paste a photo into a stock news frame. Nobody believes those. Belief comes from the small details they recognize as theirs.

An ordinary snapshot of a man in a backyard. — A phone photo. Any clear shot of their face works.

The same man rendered as timestamped store security footage inside a news broadcast. — The same man, rebuilt as timestamped store footage, running under the station's graphics.

Their photo: Rebuilt as grainy store security footage — timestamped, shot from the ceiling, caught mid-transaction. Not pasted into a frame.
Their town: Runs in the headline in red, and the anchor says it out loud.
Their name: Attributed on air to the clerk who sold the ticket, then held on screen as a full-width quote card.
The store: Deliberately never named. "A convenience store here in town" — their own mind fills in the one they use, and it's always right.

Before you commit

See it before you decide.

You watch the whole thing — every second, their name in it — before any payment. Until then it carries a PREVIEW stamp across the picture: enough to judge it by, useless as an actual prank.

Every report ends with five seconds of black and then a short slate saying it's a fictional entertainment video — so you choose the moment to own up, and the file still explains itself if it ever leaves the room. We build on an invented station, never a real news outlet, lottery or prize.

Questions

Before you buy

Is this a real news station?

No. Every report is produced on an invented station with original branding. We never use the name, logo or look of a real broadcaster, and never a real lottery.

How do I get it onto their television?

You get a private link and a downloadable file. On an iPhone, open the link and tap the AirPlay button in the player. On Android or a laptop, cast the tab from Chrome. Playing it on a phone works, but the TV is what makes people believe it.

Do I pay before I see it?

No. We build the whole report first and you watch it end to end, their name included. Until you buy, it carries a PREVIEW stamp across the picture — enough to judge it by, and useless as an actual prank. Buying removes the stamp.

How long does it take?

About a minute. Nothing is queued up behind a render farm — the broadcast is already built, so we only assemble your details into it.

What do you need from me?

A clear photo of their face, their first name, and their town. Nothing else, and we don't need the name of the store they actually use.

Does the person being pranked have to be in it as a character?

No. Their photograph appears inside the broadcast as security footage. They are never animated, never given a voice, and never made to say anything.

Will the video admit it's a prank?

Yes, always. Every report ends with a reveal card stating the broadcast is fictional entertainment. That card can't be removed.

Who shouldn't I use this on?

Anyone it wouldn't be funny for. It's built for people who'll laugh with you afterwards — not for strangers, not for scaring someone, and never to get money out of anybody.

You already know who you'd do this to.

Send us their photo and their first name. We'll take it from there.
