If you know you lost $100 you are probably going to retrace your steps to try and find it. If the person that lost it comes back to the store looking for it he will be glad someone gave it to the cashier to hold on to.

Congrats to you sir/ma'am for doing the right thing.

I feel that if you take something that's not yours, you will never get your own .....Sounds more along the lines of choosing integrity above all else. We all know there is good and bad Karma, as the winner referred to. Perhaps the winner has been in a past situation where they lost money that they needed it for food or to pay a bill ? The article did express that the player wants to buy a modest house and a reliable car , which were previously unattainable for them .

Some folks are just goo... [ More ]

I am sorry but I beg to look at it differently.

Someone that's going into a store to buy three $20 tickets would NOT be motivated to keep $100.

Yes, there is the moral and the ethical argument to it, but the fact they can afford to spend $60 on tickets, says something.

My thoughts

Karma is always sitting on your shoulder, directly opposite the Devil on your other shoulder.

Never take anything that doesn't belong to you, is just simple common sense. Yet common sense is not that common . Congratulations.

Honest and humble winner can afford what was previously unattainable

By Kate Northrop

An honest New Jersey lottery player ignored the pressure to keep a rogue $100 bill for themselves and won a $1 million prize immediately after refusing the money.

Is it worth declining $100 if it means potentially winning a million dollars instead? Karma must have thought so, and after being rewarded with a $1 million lottery prize, one New Jersey player is happy they listened to their conscience.
