That's Timothy Yost, and he just experienced the luckiest day of his life. The 46-year-old was wandering near the Colorado River in Texas when he found $77,000 in cash and South African coins in a bag that washed ashore.

When Yost went to the bank to trade the coins for cash, the teller alerted the authorities. Yost showed the police where he found the loot, and an investigation occurred. After 90-days of serious investigating, nothing illegal could be proved and no one had claimed the money. So, Yost got to keep it.

Yost is reportedly buying a car with the new cash. Stunting.
