"...in small square letters, were these words: 'Lucky You!'"

Our friends over at the Museum of Hoaxes recently shared the story of a woman who found “a small envelope in a rocking chair she bought at auction. In the envelope [were] a key and a note giving her directions to where $250 in U.S. gold coins was supposedly buried in a lead chest.”

Turns out she might be the victim of a now-deceased practical joker.

Reminded us of good ol’ Alpheus Winterborn.
