Karma behind American man’s lottery win
A man is thanking karma for his winning lottery ticket after helping the homeless just moments before his win.
Brandon Sedin won $200,000 through the Idaho Lottery and he points to an act of kindness he performed moments before buying his ticket as the key to his success.
He got off work on Monday when he was shopping around the Boise Towne Square and gave a few dollars to a homeless man on a street corner. Then, shortly after his random act of kindness, Sedin stopped at a local store and bought a few Idaho Lottery tickets.
On Tuesday, Sedin scratched and won the last top prize on the scratch game Juggernaut Jackpot. He then found himself standing in the winner’s lobby in Boise.
Sedin reportedly gave a few dollars to a homeless man on a street corner near Boise Towne Square on Monday before going to a local store to buy his tickets.
“I don’t play that often, but I just felt I should pick some up,” Sedin said in a statement released by the Idaho Lottery.
“Wow, talk about karma!” he said in the release.
Sedin won through a Scratch-off ticket, and cashed in on Tuesday at the Idaho Lottery Customer Service window.
“I have a big winning ticket,” said Sedin when he presented his winning scratch ticket for payment at the Lottery’s customer service window.
“Yeah, it’s a pretty good Tuesday,” he reportedly said at the time, according to the statement.
He plans to invest the winnings.
The store that sold the ticket received a bonus of $20,000.
