The two Mississippi men most likely used superglue to attach the winning numbers to the lottery ticket and try to cash it out for $ 100.

Flowood City Police Department told CNN that the men signed the ticket and presented it to the Mississippi Lottery Corporation. While the representatives of the lottery realized that this was a fake, and called the authorities.

Local media published pictures of a fake ticket, on which an inconspicuous strip was glued with "winning numbers" located in the center. The ticket looked like a real one.

Media reported that both men were due to appear on trial on January 7, but there is no evidence of a decision yet.
