Watch: Old woman splits lottery prize money with store cashier; what happens next will melt your heart
Internet is a powerhouse of funny, crazy and heartwarming videos to lift one’s mood and today’s viral video is just another addition to the category. A clip of an 86-year-old woman sharing her lottery prize money with the store cashier who sold her the ticket has gone viral online.
The wholesome video was posted on Instagram by user Heidi Forrest and later reshared by a page called Good News Movement. The reshared video has so far garnered more than 6.4 million views and several comments lauding praises for the woman’s beautiful heart.
The post was shared with a caption that explains that the store cashier encouraged the woman named Marion Forrest to buy a lottery ticket earlier this week. Marrion purchased the ticket and also said that if she were to win 500,000 dollars, she would take care of the cashier. The elderly woman ended up winning 300 dollars and came back to the store to keep her promise.
In the short video, Marrion can be seen entering the convenience store with balloons and an envelope containing half of her winnings. She handed the envelope to the surprised cashier and informed him about her win.
The cashier seemed touched as he hugged the old-lady. Other customers in the shop who got to notice the goodness, cheered and clapped for them.
While sharing the post Good News Movement wrote, “86-year-old Grandma Marion went to convenient store earlier this week and the cashier encouraged her to buy a lottery ticket Because the big win was $500,000.00 and she said, “okay if I win, I will take care of you!” So sweet Marion kept her word… She split her winnings (which were $300) with the cashier and surprised him with balloons and an envelope that read WALTER WON.”
