Good morning...

First, a little backstory.. An uncle hid a real chicken egg for me and my cousins once and told us whoever found it would get $50. True to his word, he paid my cousin fifty bucks. It's one of my best memories from my childhood.

I've tried to emulate that with my kids, nieces and nephews and some of cousins kids. I usually pay out $100 for one egg, $50 for a second, and $20 for a third. I mark each egg with a number, hiding the one marked with 1 in a harder to find spot. And so on...

But, I always talk up the prize. One year I told the kids the number 1 egg was worth 100 Grand, the 2nd was a nice pay day, and the third a $20. Of course I have out a 100 Grand candy bar as well as a Payday bar. Then I have them the real money... They loved it.

Last year I said the grand prize was $500, and I gave the winner a $500 bill from Venezuela in addition to the American $100.

So, with all of that being said... I've racked my brain trying to think of what to do this year. Any suggestions? Again, all in fun and they still get money. But they enjoy trying to figure out the prank now and I enjoy doing it. Any suggestions?
