MANILA, Philippines – A homeless man gets his own home, and he has a YouTube prank to thank for it. 

Rahat Hossain introduced Eric, in an earlier video on his YouTube channel Magic of Rahat. In that video, he made Eric think he had won the lottery.

But it was Rahat and his viewers who were in for a bigger surprise. The man offered to share his winnings with Rahat.

Eric’s gesture made the video go viral, prompting people to contact Rahat to ask how they could help the homeless man. The overwhelming response made Rahat start a crowd-funding effort that eventually raised enough to buy Eric a home.

Watch how Eric reacted to this second surprise:
