I won a bit of money with lotto, it’s my best win so far at $35.50, my previous best win was $25.35. In at the local Surry Hills newsagency collecting my winnings when mister homeless guy say’s through the door “Excuse me ma’am, do you have a few cents you could spare for a cool drink and a bus fare?” My immediate reaction was a short, cold “No” then quickly I said “Actually, wait” I handed over $5.50.

well done...
good karma for you.
One time I gave a stinky homeless person some money for the "bus" and two seconds later I saw him stumbling into Liquorland.
Now I just poke fun at homeless people.
Fool me once. shame on you
Fool me twice. shame on me.
Hooray for your win!!
How kind of you to share your good luck, I'm sure he appreaciated it :)
Well done Nat...I'm afraid to say I do the same...I'm a sucker for a hand out
Nicely done Nat! I know those moments when we're about to react one way then do the reverse. we surprise ourselves in a good way :).
<3<3<3 good deeds go a long way me thinks :)
Hey you're on a bit of a winning steak I reckon. Usually there's a third win after 2... standing by for news... ;)
hahahaha I meant "streak". Steak's good too though LOL
That was nice of you :) Yay for Nat and lotto wins!
Natalie I have long thought about this one. Many years ago I thought it was bad to be an "enabler" as some would take the money to buy liquor. Then I thought and if one, just one person, needed something, what if I were on the one who just needed a hand to get through the day?
I decided that no matter what the individual does with the money, if I can, I will share.
So if I give money to a hooker for sex, I'm gonna improve my karma too, right?
After all, she needs the money for smack, and they are (so I'm told) nice about asking.
The difference between her and the bum escapes me. And SHE provides a service. All the bum does is piss on my pavement and stink up the joint.
