The Rev. Greg Davis of United Pentecostal Church in Dekalb stopped at a gas station in Bloomington on Thursday night.
"I was standing behind a man who was obviously homeless for a couple of different reasons you could tell he was certainly down on his luck," said Davis.
The man was having the clerk check his lottery ticket.
"He says 'What did I win?' $50,000. I thought he was having a heart attack. First of all he wouldn't say anything for a little bit he was just stunned and then he just started saying 'Wow. Wow. Wow. Are you sure? $50,000,'" said Davis.
An Easter surprise, Davis calls it. The man's name is Dennis and he has been living in a tent. Davis says he was just smiling from ear to ear.
