Basically what I want is this:

Person X is nice to my Fae character somehow. She 'blesses' him with 'financial success'. For the next week or so, he occasionally (maybe twice a day, tops) finds a couple dollars jammed in a bus seat, or maybe a $20 blowing down the sidewalk toward him. Then, let's say a week later, he wins some larger benefit - he hits the lottery for a couple thousand dollars, or maybe (and I really like this idea, because it fits the Fae screwed-if-you-do sort of contract mentality) he finds a wallet with a couple grand in it. Then, X no longer benefits from the blessing at all.

Can you all suggest an easy-ish path to this? With or without serendipity being in the mix.

Note: The subject (person X) shouldn't have ANY say in how the 'blessing' affects them.
