35 Large Amounts of Money People Randomly Found

In this economy, finding 10 bucks on the ground would feel like hitting the jackpot. Even though it would likely be used as a down payment on a carton of eggs, such an amount of cash is nothing to sneeze at.  

But there are a lucky few who stumble upon even greater riches. One such Redditor remembered the time he came into nearly $500 at the waterpark. He slid down one of the tube slides and there it was — hundreds of dollars in cash, wrapped in plastic and floating right next to him. He turned the money in to management, but when no one claimed it by the end of the day, he used that waterpark windfall to buy a puppy. 

Other Redditors have shared the random places they’ve uncovered large amounts of cash, including hotel mattresses, parking lots and the middle of the forest.

assfull_chaps 12y ago When I was in high school, I found $200 folded up in the toilet paper dispenser in the boys locker room. I just grabbed some shit-tickets and out plopped a money fold. So of course, having hit the jackpot, I took it home. Being the frugal young man I was, I decided to save it and spend it over time. However, a few days after this happened, a kid in my grade got beat up really bad, nobody could say why, and transferred schools. I'm pretty sure I caused a drug deal to go bad and indirectly
