Police say about $100k was spilled onto the highway!

A viral video captured the scene as people pulled over in the middle of the highway to grab as much cash as they could.

Of course, the eager money-grabbers were causing a bit of a safety issue.



It turns out picking up the lost cash is technically a crime and the authorities are eager to track it down.


Of course, that wasn't going to stop many people from grabbing as much as they could.


Driving on the highway at the right time could be a very lucrative opportunity...


If there were any justice in this world, these drivers would get to keep their lucky winnings.


Many people on Twitter debated whether or not they'd turn in the money if given the opportunity.
