Family Finds Bags Stuffed with $1M Lying on Road

Location: Caroline County, Virginia
Year Discovered: 2020
Est. Value: $1 million*

Picking up trash on the side of the road may sound like an unappealing hobby, but it paid handsomely for one family. A family was driving through Virginia when they noticed two white sacks on the side of the road, which they mistook for garbage. They tossed the “trash” bags into the back of their car, determined to clean up what they thought was rubbish. When they opened them, they discovered that they had not unearthed the remains of a litterbug, but rather a million dollars. The family did the right thing by turning over the funds to the sheriff’s office. Unfortunately, the money does not appear to have originated from a flashy or blockbuster-movie-like source. It was supposedly post office property, and the bags tumbled out of the truck on the route to the bank.
