Sike – A celebration broke out at a California nursing home after a worker was told she was one of the Powerball winners — but it turned out to be a prank, relatives said Thursday.

The heartwarming story unraveled hours after a manager at the Park Avenue Health & Wellness Center in Pomona told reporters the staffer was a newly-minted millionaire.

David Levy, the nursing home’s administrator, said the facility was abuzz Wednesday night after the woman received a call from her son saying she was the winner.

Pranks in general are kind of an out dated move. When ‘Punk’d’ was popular it was fun to watch celebrities get pranked and then freak out, but this one is just downright mean. It’s especially mean because the pranker is the one person this woman probably trusts more than anyone, her no good son. I’m more upset with people still pranking other people in the year 2016 than I am the actual terribleness of this story, but imagine being this poor woman. She works at a nursing home dealing with old people shitting themselves all day, and then out of the blue her loving son calls her to tell her she’s going to be a millionaire and will never have to work a day in her life. Suddenly all that hard work was worth it, and she’s rewarded for a lifetime of giving. And then BOOM. Pranked. By her SON. Safe to say this lady is not going to have a fun weekend.
