Man Poses As Blind With Lotto Ticket To See Who Will Tell Him He's Won

A YouTube celebrity is generating buzz after he filmed a "social experiment" where he approaches strangers with a lottery ticket, tells them he's blind and asks if the ticket he's holding is a winner.

What the strangers don't know is that Johal can see and he already knows ticket is worth $500.

He first asks two men "in a rich area" for help with the ticket and then two people sitting on the curb "in a poor area," who he says are homeless.

You might be surprised by who tells Johal the truth about his winnings and who walks away with the ticket instead.

Johal also encourages his viewers to support Help Freely, an organization that raises funds for nonprofits at no extra cost to people while they shop online.
