In a twist of fate, a man in Hefei, China, found himself sleepless after his kind gesture led to a stranger winning a 400,000 RMB (approximately RM245,500) lottery jackpot.
The incident unfolded on January 5, when the man, a self-proclaimed seasoned lottery player, was busy scratching his tickets in a lottery shop. A woman entered the shop and asked the owner if there were any single tickets available. Hearing this, the man generously offered her two tickets from his own batch.
To everyone’s surprise, one of the tickets turned out to be the jackpot winner. The woman, in disbelief, repeatedly checked and confirmed her luck, exclaiming, “Is this real?” Meanwhile, the man who had given away the ticket was left reeling, admitting that the incident kept him awake all night.
The story quickly went viral, with netizens weighing in:
- “It’s all about luck. If it’s yours, it’s yours. Who knows, maybe he wouldn’t have won if he scratched it himself.”
- “I can’t help but feel his pain through the screen.”
- “This is why I never give away my lottery tickets!”
While the woman left the shop celebrating her newfound fortune, the man was left pondering his generosity, sparking an online debate about fate, luck, and missed opportunities.
