(PCM) If you recall a few months ago, we brought you the story about the homeless man named Eric who was pranked by magician and known prankster Rahat with a winning lottery ticket worth $1,000. (See story and video here)
Rahat wanted to give the homeless man a shot at a better life, so he gave him the fake lottery ticket and then set it up ahead of time with the cashier to give Eric the $1,000 “winnings”. Eric had the most beautiful and unexpected reaction to the winning lottery ticket and he and the video were quickly a viral internet sensation.
After the initial prank, Rahat was contacted by people all over the world looking for ways that they could donate to Eric and help out. Rahat set up a donation fund and raised over $44,000 which he used to buy a new home and start a savings account for Eric.
Eric wasn’t aware that this was happening and the newest prank video shows Eric’s reaction when Rahat tells him that the home they have just entered in the video is actually his own. His reaction is once again priceless and incredibly heart-warming. The video has already been video over 1 million times and we certainly wish Eric all the best with this new start and his new job at 7-11.
