I saw a documentary film last year regarding a man who had pretended to
win the lottery and kept up his pretence for some time. One of the ways
he provided evidence of his win for family and friends was to pay a
cheque into his account for several million pounds and, before the
cheque was processed and bounced, he took a printout from a hole in the
wall machine which showed the pending balance of some millions.
Hilarious.
