Bismillah...

must watch video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Lki_IeM6bQ

Over the weekend, a video featuring a homeless man winning $US1,000 with a lottery ticket went viral. He was actually the subject of famous YouTube prankster Magic of Rahat.

Magic is best known for doing things like scaring fast-food workers by driving up to the window decked out like a headless person.

But this setup was a little different. He arranged for a fake lottery ticket to win $US1,000 and then gave the ticket to a homeless man named Eric.

What he never expected was the man’s selfless response. Eric immediately tried to share the money with Magic. The video is a tear-jerker, and racked up nearly 13 million views over the weekend.

What happened next is just as heartwarming. Magic was so moved, he set up a Fundly crowdsource account, trying to raise $US20,000 to help Eric get back on his feet.

It quickly gained over 1,800 contributors and, as of this writing, raised more than $US32,000.

During a Reddit AMA, Magic said that he has also put Eric up in a hotel for a couple of weeks and taken him out to dinner.

If you haven’t seen this feel-good video yet, take a few minutes and watch it.

offcourse his name need to be drag here, after all he "claims" so many things but fails to deliver any thing.

this poor Eric is far better than MS, he is homeles yet he didnt forgot to thank rahat and share his award, while muffy is thankless, he eats and sleeps on poor momeenin money yet he force them to say its all his "karam and ehsaan"

so do your math now.
