Found 4 dollars in front of my house.

About a hundred yards down the street from my home is a stop and go gas station. As a result I often find a lot of stuff in my front yard where people have stopped to get gas and leave things on the roof of their vehicle. The stuff blows off about the time they reach my house going down the road. I've found coins, a dollar bill or two, cell phones, gloves, tools, soda bottles, gas caps and so on. Today four dollars bills turned up which is my best find yet. I also get a lot of lottery tickets they throw out as trash after they scratched them off. I pick up a couple of hundred or more during the year. I didn't look at them before but I now check them each and every one for I figure that I will eventually will find one or two that the buyer missed he had winning numbers. Sound reasonable?

Sounds good to me. Keep all of the lottery tickets could be a write off......Matt

I have done the same thing with the lottery scratch tickets. I found a $5 ticket on the ground at one time, it had several different games on it. The person did not scratch one of the games. I got $20 out of it.

Once around Christmas time I was standing around at work waiting for something and as I was daydreaming I was looking into one of those grey plastic dumpsters that everyone empties their garbage into. On top was a holiday scratch off ticket. I picked it up and here it was a $10.00 winner that someone threw away.
