You look around and there's no one in sight.

Are you keeping it?

Now, imagine you spot an unclaimed $100 bill on the counter in a store, and everyone around you is telling you to just take it.

What do you do?

Well, that's exaclty what happened to a New Jersey man who found $100 on a store counter in Warren County, and while others told him to keep it, he chose to hand the money over to the store clerk, asking them to hold onto it in case the person who lost if came back looking for it.

NJ.com reports:

“I see it, and I turn around,” the person said. “There’s a person at the ATM and two people waiting in line,” “I said ‘Did somebody leave this here?’ Everybody’s saying, ‘just keep it.’ I feel that if you take something that’s not yours, you will never get your own. And everybody there just looked at me like I was nuts.”

While he was there, he decided to purchase a few scratch-off tickets, according to the article.

What happened next is pretty unbelievable.

A Good Deed Leads To A Million-Dollar Lottery Win

Maybe if he kept that $100, he wouldn't have played, but in my opinion, that good deed led to this positive million-dollar result.

Where was the winning scratch-off sold in New Jersey?

The big winner purchased the winning Power 20X scratch-off at PAUL-Mart on Main Street in Phillipsburg, according to the report.

Congratulations!
