A $5 bill blew up towards me while I was waiting for a bus like 10 years ago and I’m still riding that high

When I was a kid my mom was taking me to Walmart or k Mart. Ended up finding a couple of 20 dollar bills in the parking lot ground and had her confused what I was picking up.

Bought the ninja turtles sewer set, with the atv that had plungers on the front. Best trip to the mart ever as a kid

Props to Mom for respecting finders-keepers.

One time my friend and I found about 200$ dollars worth of $20 bills in a empty parking lot. Her mom took all of it and called me selfish for wanting to keep a little bit of it. Then she kept it…

5 year old me found a $20 once at the bottom of a shopping cart. I assume it fell out of a lady's purse or something. But I was ecstatic.

My greatest high was finding $400 in an ATM last year. Thousands of people had passed by it, and I was going to withdraw $100 from it. Didn't need to after double checking. I even looked around in case there was someone nearby. Nope. Just $400 staring me in the face as if to say "I think you need me more than the person who withdrew me."

I have accidentally walked away from the ATM before, but luckily mine took the money back after a certain amount of time. I ran back to the ATM after I got distracted and thought someone for sure took it. Checked my statement, but it didn’t charge me.

You're fortunate. This person wasn't. It was one of those mini ATM's you see everywhere at pubs, gas stations, hotels, etc. It had a bill holder because once it dispenses cash, it can't take it back.

I’ve had two $5 bills blow onto my property from a nearby shopping center! Always a nice treat, instead of the usual neighbors' dog shit!

Oh man. When I was young (maybe 10) on a road trip with my Dad. We stopped at rest station to use the restroom. I found a couple dollars flying in the grass and bolted towards it. Then I found a few fives and tens in the wind. I found about $50 that day! My Dad said he would hold it for me, but later told me he spent it on my McDonalds =/

I once found a $100 bill in my wallet. I never carry cash apart from the occasional time someone pays me (which had happened recently, but it was only $20) so I was pretty dumbfounded on how it got in there. My best guess was it was stuck to another bill that I got as change which seems unlikely but I can't think of any other explanation.
