Tyler Perry went on a serious generous streak Thursday, dropping more than $400k on some very lucky holiday shoppers in Atlanta.

The actor and filmmaker wrote a few checks to two area Walmarts to cover the cost of outstanding layaway items registered at the stores as of Thursday morning, TMZ reports.

TMZ says Perry spent $178k at one store in Atlanta and $256k at another one in Douglasville.
