Seems over the past couple of days a millionaire was in London handing out gifts of £1,000 to people they thought looked worthy of a bit of extra money. In return, all they asked was that they did something good with it such as making a charity donation, helping someone less fortunate, or just to make someone a little bit happier.

No idea what to make of the story, but the idea alone made me smile. Random acts of kindness done the way its supposed to be, which gave me a little more faith in man kind after all

Everything started with an anonymous person who was lucky enough to suddenly come into more money than they would ever need last year and, after spending a chunk of it booking a space flight with Virgin Galactic, they became increasingly embraced about blowing what was essentially a life changing amount of money on themselves. A few days later they cancelled the booking and decided to make other people lucky.

There is a more extensive explanation on the project’s website and you can also find out what the people spent the money on.

I can also follow the encounters through facebook/twitter and who know, maybe you might also and up having a lucky encounter…
