At Lucky Candy, a deli in the Bronx, customers are in for a lucky treat—as long as they can solve a math equation.
About two weeks ago, one of the cashiers on premise, Ahmed Alwan, invented a game that's since gone viral: if shoppers correctly answer his math questions, they have five seconds to grab anything in the store—for free.
The 20-year-old pharmacy student told CNN that he came up with the gimmick to primarily help "low-income community members" and that he himself ends up paying for whatever the winners grab.
He recently launched a GoFundMe page to raise funds for the game as well ($4,000 and counting!).
As for the difficulty level of the questions posed, worry not: Alwan has asked queries the likes of "What's 9 times 9 minus 5?" and "What's 5 times 5?"
Check out some of the Instagram videos that Alwan has posted in connection to his game:

In addition to the slew of media attention and praise that Alwan has received since first publishing his videos on TikTok, the cashier has amassed a hefty social media following: In a mere two weeks, he's gained 24,000 Instagram followers and 421,000 TikTok fans. All well deserved, if you ask us.
