Reggie Damone wanted to jot down a phone number when he picked up what he thought was litter on a sidewalk. But he found was an envelope containing a cheque worth US $ 185,000, reports AP from Norwich, Connecticut.

Damone, who receives government-issued food stamps for low-income workers and works at a McDonald’s fast food restaurant, took a bus on Monday from his Jewett City home to a bank and returned the cheque to the niece of the landlord to whom the cheque was written. She thanked Damone with a US $ 50 bill.
