A man who was in a rush apparently had three lottery tickets in his hand. He checked the two but forgot the other one, which was the winning ticket, unbeknownst to him that employee Andy Patel had checked.

In a dazzlingly altruistic display of pure human selflessness, Andy and his brother Kal went off in search of the man, whom they recognised as a regular customer. They proceeded to close their parents' station and hit the road to find their fortunate patron.

The good-hearted men had an idea of where the customer lived and were on their heroic journey to find him when, based on East Coast Radio, the two brothers drove past his vehicle and got him to stop.

The favoured man jumped for joy when he got his ticket back. When asked why he returned the ticket, Andy said that he just believes in doing the right thing. Man, what a great guy!
