    This Hat TO Be Fake...NJ Restaurant Thought They Won Powerball




    For 20 minutes they were filthy rich, or so they believed.
    The staff of a North Jersey Italian eatery apparently thought they had become a bunch of millionaires Saturday after matching all six Powerball numbers for the almost $1 billion jackpot.
    The servers, bartenders, cooks and other employees can be seen hugging and jumping for joy in two videos posted to the Grissini Ristorante's YouTube page— one dishwasher even quit, according to the restaurant.
    And the valet with the golden ticket? He told a customer to pull around his own car since he was a millionaire now.
    The restaurant called it "pure pandemonium," on social media.
    But the screams of celebrations quickly went silent in Englewood Cliffs after realizing bartender Charlie Poveromo had read the winning numbers from the previous drawing.

    Seen a few "Follow me on twitter/facebook" fake pics holding the "winning lottery ticket" saying I will give a few random people who follow/share $100K Morons eating this stuff up. I swear, nobody has common sense these days.
