Gilbert Arenas Announces He Won $300,000 In The Lottery After Moving Encounter With Homeless Man

No one on earth is better at earning unearned money than No Chill Gil.

In 2008, Arenas signed a superfluously lucrative six-year, $111 million contract with the Wizards (after suffering a torn MCL and meniscus, no less). Gil played just 55 total games with the Wizards after signing that contract. For those scoring at home, that’s over $2 mill a game.

Despite his nine figure NBA pull, Gil, now 38, plays the lotto like a blue collar brick mason.

Arenas must’ve been a leper in a previous life because he recently won $300,000 in the California Mega Millions for numbers HE DIDN’T EVEN PLAY.

To his credit, he hooked the homeless man up who helped orchestrate the winning.

Buckle up.

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

More than $160 million in NBA contracts and a $300k topper. If Gil gifted this homeless dude anything less than $10k, I cannot consider this a feel good story.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
