At Lucky Candy, a small neighborhood store, customers are in for a lucky treat.
Ahmed Alwan, a cashier of the store, invented a game that’s since gone viral: if ___1___ correctly answer his math questions, they are able to grab as many items as possible in five seconds—all for ___2___. Alwan came up with the idea to primarily ___3___“low-income community members” and he himself ends up paying for whatever the winners collect.
For Alwan, 23, joy is essential as breakfast—but regulars at his family’s corner store sometimes ___4___ both. “This neighborhood has a lot of poor people,” he says. “They’ve known me since I was a little kid. I know most of them by name. I see people—some of whom are ___5___ customers—sleeping on the train. I used to give them buttered rolls, coffee and bananas in the morning to ___6___ their days.”
A fan of math throughout high school and college, Alwan thought of the way to combine his love of entertaining and altruism (利他主义) into the game to go on helping people and keep their ___7___ skills sharp too.
