These days, it seems all but impossible to go through a single week without at least one person trying to scam us. Whether they're pretending to be a service we use every day to phish our passwords out of us, trying to trick us into sharing our credit card numbers, or even making us pay to work for them, there seems to be no end to the tricks these grifters can pull.
But at the same time, we can sometimes play ourselves and make it easy for an opportunist to take advantage of us. And we can sometimes see this in posts where people showed off their credit card's cool design or forgot to edit out the code on their gift cards only to realize their mistake when it was already too late.
But as one man recently made clear, a similar problem can arise when people try to flex their big wins in a lottery or other game of chance online.
