Good karma, perhaps?
A man who supported a lottery company's charity went home RM1 million richer after he bought lottery tickets from a disabled seller.
theSun reported that the winner from Kajang collected his prize cheque last week.
It was learned that the man noticed that Big Sweep, a local lottery company, had transformed into a charitable company by donating all surpluses to the Yu Cai Foundation
"Recently, he noticed that Big Sweep had transformed into a charitable company as all surpluses from Big Sweep will be donated to the Yu Cai Foundation (YCF), which is a charitable organisation that nurtures talent through education," said Pan Malaysian Sweeps Sdn Bhd, the organisation that owns Big Lottery, in a statement quoted by The Star Online.
According to Big Sweep's website, the initiative was launched in 2015.
He then started buying more lottery tickets as a way to support the initiative
His winning tickets were reportedly bought from a disabled person who made a living selling lottery tickets around Seremban, Semenyih, and Sungai Long.
"While he was having lunch at a coffee shop in Seremban one day, he was approached by the disabled ticket seller and he bought 10 Big Sweep tickets without hesitation," the statement added.
