I was about to get really pissed because it said (fake ticket) in the description. Like I thought they were gonna take the money away and Ashton Kutcher was gonna pop out and be like "oooooh you got punked homeless guy!". And I was hoping the homeless guy was gonna kick their asses.

But... This was really cool. I hope that guy is able to readjust and get his life right and find a job so he doesn't burn through the remaining 22,000. What a really worthwhile thing to do for this man.

I'm with Felix, I thought they were going to be like HA! Just joking. And take it away from him. But, they didn't and I got a little weepy. So sweet.

In the follow up video, the guy who set up everything for him said that the remaining money is in a joint account that's being monitored by him so he can make the right decisions with it.

And also when they went to pick him up to bring him to the house, he told them that he had a job. I'm not sure what kind of job it was though. If I had to guess, I'd say it was probably from someone who got wind of this story and wanted to give him a shot.

I'd really like to see an update a year from now (the video of him getting a house was posted two days ago) and see that he's doing well.

I saw the joint account thing but you know 22,000 can be gone through quickly on normal bills and rent after the year. I missed where they said he had a job lined up. That's awesome and makes the story even better.

what really got to me was that, after he won, he wanted to give the guy some of it back. beautiful story.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
