CAROLINE COUNTY, Va. – One Virginia family made a strange discovery over the weekend after they thought they had picked up two bags of trash from the road.
It turned out to be nearly $1 million. The Schantz family was on a drive Saturday afternoon, weaving through back country Central Virginia roads, when they came across some goats and pre-made storage sheds.
Emily Schantz says the car before them swerved and missed the bag, but they couldn't. They accidentally hit it. So, they got out thinking someone had dumped trash in the middle of Broad Street.
They picked the bag up, threw it in the back of the truck, saw another bag 15 feet away, threw that in the back of the truck, and headed into town.
