There's so much negativity in the world and I don't know about you, but I'm tired of it. I love this story because despite what we're told day in and day out, it illustrates that there are people who still have a genuinely good conscious.

Cedric Jackson walked into a convenience store and bought a couple lottery tickets. After scratching them off, he thought he had just missed winning two $5,000 jackpots and asked employee Ricky Singh to throw them out.

Later that day, Cedric had a nagging feeling that maybe he actually won and so he returned to the store and asked if he could search through the garbage for the. Although he went through the inside garbage can and the dumpster outside, he couldn't find the.

It was later in the day when Singh remembered that he actually tossed them out in a trash can inside the store's office and was able to get them back. After looking at the tickets, Singh realized that they were winners and that together, they were worth $10,000. So he did the right thing and called Jackson, who is a regular customer, and informed him that his feeling was right and that he'd won a lot of money.
