This homeless man receives a fake winning lottery ticket but watch what happens next

/

This local homeless man was given a lottery ticket by a stranger. But it wasn't this kindness that's especially touching, it's what the homeless man tried to do with some of the money after he won. This clip on YouTube channel Magic of Rahat shows what happened.

Rahat had seen a homeless man near a local shopping center in the last few weeks. "And from what people have told me, he's a nice and respectable guy."

But instead of just giving the man money, he arranges to give him a lottery ticket, telling him that it's a winner. Though it wasn't really a winner, and to make it plausible the clerk at the convenience store where they take the ticket to get the cash was in on it.

When the homeless man found out he had "won" $1,000, he couldn't believe it. All he could say was "you're kidding me, right?" Nope, he wasn't kidding. The clerk counted out $1,000.

With cash in hand as host is about to leave the store, the homeless man tries to give him some of the winnings. "I want to share it," he said. "This right here is enough for me. I would like to share it with you, big guy."

But Rahat refused. As the homeless man began to blink back tears, the host went in for a hug. Both men left the store wiping their eyes.

"I've been doing this for a long time. A long time. And never, never had somebody do what you just did back there. Never," the homeless man said.
