Nadrealna priča bivše NBA zvezde i prosjaka – kako je dobio 300.000$ na lutriji

Arenas je, prema sopstvenom priznanju na Instagramu, ispričao da je 12. maja krenuo da uplati tiket na jednoj benzinskoj pumpi, kao što sttalno radi.

Dok je čekao da se upalio zeleno svetlo na semaforu, prišao mu je prosijak i tražio da mu da nešto novca.

Kako je kod sebe imao samo 10 dolara, pošto je zaboravio novčanik, a toliko je hteo da uplati, odgovorio mu je.

"Mogu da ti dam pet dolara, a još pet da uložim u lutriju. Prosjak mi je tada rekao da zadrži sav novac i, ukoliko dobijem, da mu dam 20 dolara. Rekao mi je da je siguran da ću dobiti", otkrio je Arenas.

Nije uspeo da stigne na vreme da uplati, ali...

"Sledećeg jutra dobio sam SMS poruku o obaveštenju da sam osvojio 300.000 dolara. Mislio sam da je lažna poruka. Vlasnik pumpe je igrao moje brojeve kada je video da me nema. Došao sam do pumpe i gazda me je čekao sam osmehom", govorio je nekadašnji košarkaš Golden Stejta, Vašingtona, Orlanda, Memfisa i Šangaja.

Arenas je odmah dao u potragu za prosjakom.

"Morao sam da ga nađem. Čekao sam ga na istom mestu da se pojavi gde smo se sreli. Grlio me je, plakao i počeo da se moli. Njegovo srce je donelo novac", zaključio je Arenas, ali nije želeo da otkrije iznos novca koji mu je dao.

Sigurno je više nego što su se dogovorili...

This caption is not about good deed but about a struggling mans sacrifice and belief 🙏🏾 may 12th I rushed out the house to play my lotto numbers😬forgot my money and the car was on E🤷🏾‍♂️ I had a whole $10 in the car😂😂😂 I pulled up to the gas station to get $10 worth so I can head to (my hook up gas station) and then a struggling man says (hey sir can u spare me some change) my first thought was 🗣PHUCK I don't have time for this shit today😩 so I said mannn I have $10 for some gas and that's it,I have 8 mins to get to the other gas station to play my numbers before it's to late🤯 he says u can play here...I said the other gas station lets me push the buttons myself🤪 he then says how far u going! My brain is saying (the fuck u asking all the questions for ) so I was only going to CALABASAS which was 7 mins away but lied and said Thousand Oaks which was at least 16 mins away so before he did the math on everything I said " 8 mins before the cut off but it's 16 mins away" I said listen I'll just use $5 dollars for gas and u can have the other $5 😇 he then says (from here to Thousand Oaks and back) u won't make it on $5 so KEEP the $10 and after u WIN hook me up with $20! I said are u sure he said yes 💯 I know ur gonna win💯 by the time I got to the my hookup gas station they were closed I guess they closed early for repair so I didn't get to play my numbers😡😡😡 I wake up to a text Wednesday morning saying congratulations U won 300k 😱 I've heard this scammer type shit happening so I ignored the next becuz I didn't get to play my numbers so I couldn't have won shit....I went to the gas station later that day to play powerball that was later that night and the owner runs out saying YOU WON i texted u 👀 I said huh I didn't play yesterday..he said I played ur numbers for u becuz I was closing early and u WON 😱🤯 long story short.....I pulled up on my guy yesterday and gave him his cut (for his safety) won't say the number 🤐he jumped up and hugged me for 5 mins crying and then started to pray💯 I've given back to the homeless BUT never was blessed by one 🙏🏾😇 his good hearted gesture of me making it back home blessed that ticket💯 #happysunday
