I mean like a anything... An unexpected bonus, finding a £5 note on the bus, winning a prize, contest, raffle, lottery etc
I got an enormous surprise when the HMRC sent me £800 I tax I had overpaid. I didn't even apply for this or anything, it just said..."you have overpaid tax, we worked it out, here's £800".

Found a few 20p coins in swimming lockers when I used to go swimming. That's about as far as my luck goes.

I found a £10 note just sitting there in there middle of a busy road near my shopping centre saying "somebody save me!". It was a little bit windy but it still sat there as if partly glued to ground. I had to wait for the traffic to clear to jump to get it. Luckily it didn't fly away!

It has since been taken down for copyright, got the vid off instagram. It was a Porsche 918 crashing, gained 1.3m views in 4 days then got taken off.
That's a CPM of around $0.25 but YouTube is normally around $1.00 - $1.25. Really poor income on that one.
