Naw, the original saying of course is give away 5 every day. You know one lead to two lead to three maybe..Get it now? I know of no religious leaders , unless you mean prison and even then I definitely don't. Unless you call law a religion. Which it is.

Shout out to Gilbert Arenas. He ruled the court. Scored 60 once against Kobe.

l couldn't disagree with you more SD.

Give away everyday and it will come back to you tenfold I was told that some followed that advice from their religious leaders: giving up their homes, wages for the church and were left destitute before long. These persons in positions of authority were flying around in jets, wearing $1,000 suits etc etc. My advice, call it Karna if you will is: You need to approach life with your eyes wide open not get sucked into that mungo jumbo vortex of nonsense.

I think you might be missing one thing in the story. He is an ex-NBA player and folks are naturally drawn to well known athletes/actors and sometimes politicians (LOL). They could be on good terms, who knows? Obviously they have a great relationship and perhaps have been over to each others homes.

I'd like to hear more about that store owner/manager. I like this story if the store owner played those numbers also himself and got a part of the winning. I'd like to believe that it all turned out supernatural as the universe would have it.

The text message from the store owner/manager? He actually had his phone number

People never get it. Call it karma if you want. Old saying, give away every day it come back to you tenfold, maybe even twenty fold. Call it karma. Most don't get that. They may have to remember waking up to see the milk outside the door, or waking up to put it outside the door. Better days for all.

Shout out to Gilbert Arenas. That's his court.

Told him that he was going to win, and the thought of not pushing for money.

So what did the homeless person do to help him win? The clerk played his normal numbers right? I'm confused

Great story. He has a relationship with that clerk, and it paid off. That's why I like to buy my tix at the little c-store that I go to. I know they won't cheat me.

I agree, and after all the stories we hear about dishonest clerks trying to rip off hapless players, it's nice to hear about an honest one who goes the extra mile for a loyal customer.

it says Gil rushed out of the house to play he's lucky numbers. According to celebrity net worth, Gil is worth $40Mil, but during his professional career, he made $160 mil plus 10's of millions in endorsements. Glad to see the guy putting money toward education. If Gil can do it, l can certainly see Bill Gates rushing out of the house to play he's lucky numbers as well.

The homeless man had confidence that he was a winner. I'm happy that he remembered the homeless man.

I agree the store owner deserves a special award for honesty and the homeless man could

have been sent to see how humble Arenas was good spending

Out of all the characters in this story, my praise goes to the store employee that not only bought the ticket, but was honest enough to say, I bought in for him, and not me. Could have been a big temptation.

Basketball star says homeless man predicted his lucky win

By Kate Northrop

On May 12, Gilbert Arenas rushed out of the house to play his lucky numbers at his favorite gas station before it closed for the day. Along the way, a mix of good will, misfortune and luck brought him a Mega Millions 2nd prize of $309,694.

Arenas recounted his good fortune in an Instagram post.

Soon after leaving his home, Arenas realized his car did not have enough gas to get him to the station. He also forgo... [ More ]
