My brother John always dreamed of hitting it big and becoming rich overnight. Every week，he'd buy lottery（彩票）tickets，hoping for a bit of luck，But luck never seemed to be on his side Feeling sad，he'd tear up the tickets and put them into his pocket.
As April Fools' Day got closer，I couldn't wait to play a joke on him. I went to a store and got some fake（假的） lottery tickets. On the morning of April 1，while John was glued to the TV，waiting for the lottery results，I carefully cut out some numbers from the fake tickets to match the winning ones. Then，I quietly placed the ticket pieces into his jacket pocket.
But John didn't check his tickets right away. "It's Sunday，and he's got a lot of time. "I thought to myself. He moved around the house and did some cleaning. After that he finally remembered to check his jacket. When he pulled out the pieces of paper with the winning numbers，he shouted at the top of his voice. "Alex，you won't believe it!I just won the lottery!" "Really?How lucky you are!"I said，trying hard not to laugh. John danced around happily，and I watched. But soon I couldn't keep the joke going any longer.
Then he ran after me，as he was mad but laughing all the time. From then on，John didn't buy any "April fools!"I shouted. After knowing it was all a joke，John's excitement turned to death lottery tickets.
Even after so many years，it is still one of the funniest moments for us.
