A Lottery Ticket On The Train

My friend introduced me to random acts of kindness and encouraged me to share my stories. So here goes!

The train was getting cleaned and I saw the cleaner pick the card up and chuckle, so I guess he had read the words, "For you! Yes, you! Open me!" He picked it up and walked past me and then turned around and looked at me. I was pretending to text someone, with a great big smile on my face, trying to be anonymous!
 
He went out through the doors and I'm guessing he will have opened it by now.

This is so much fun and I can't stop smiling. What great joy a random act of kindness is!

Then I pretended to read the card and encouraged them to look at the web-site!    They continued to speculate about who left them and showed everyone who came into the office.   As I left the office I noticed someone else finding a ...
