I would call it good karma that a Tacoma Washington employee of the United States Postal Service (USPS) mail carrier named Joesph Waldherr was on his postal carrier route on Thursday when he heard a kitten meowing. Joesph was able to the source of the meows from the kitten on Friday when he saw a kitten wedged into a small space and he was able to rescue the kitten and take the kitten with him on his mail delivery route for the rest of the day. Joesph admitted that he felt lucky to play a Pick 5 Hit It Lottery at a Quinto convivence store. Joesph who was at home with his wife and his new kitten he calls Peaches when he checked the results of the lottery on television and found out he won the jackpot of $710,000 dollars before taxes. Joesph will use the money that he won to help his parents and donate money to needy people which is the honorable thing to do. Link is upi.com/4441692994142 via @upi

Wow, what a great surprise for him and his family. Maybe I should also be on the lookout for strays and rescue them, maybe I will also be graced with such luck. Kidding aside, you can really see that he has a good heart. Even with the winnings, his thoughts are with his family still, and how he can help them.
