A New York City man won a luxurious apartment through the Big Apple’s housing lottery and his gleeful video showing off the perks that come with it has gone viral.

The unidentified man, who goes by McMurdaaaa on his social media pages, excitedly showed off his new Brooklyn digs on TikTok.

“Good morning, y’all! I got picked for the housing lottery, come see this apartment with me,” he said in the video that’s been viewed more than 1.4 million times.

After grabbing himself a big cup of iced coffee, he heads over to the apartment and shows off the luxury building.

The lobby area has seating and a receptionist desk, while his own apartment has a large closet — a commodity on the bucket list of every New Yorker — plus a sparkling new bathroom with marbled walls and a large mirror and an expansive kitchen with plenty of shelving and brand-new appliances.

“This is real nice, this is real nice,” he says as he peruses his new home.

In addition, the unidentified building has a community game room with a pool table, tables and chairs and a fridge.
