I saw the video and back story a few days ago on T.V. Apparently, the guy that gave the ticket to the homeless man is a notorious on-line prankster and, in this case, his prank was to simply benefit the man without the man's knowledge so as not embarrass or humiliate him. The prankster was completely caught off-guard by the reaction of the "winner" and the sharing of his "jackpot", as shown in the video. Still, he received negative feedback from people who saw it as exploiting a homeless person for the sake of posting a video.
It still impressed me.
