Normally an envelope under your windshield wiper is an advertisement, or worse, a parking ticket, but for shoppers at a mall in Kfar Saba it was something unexpected: free money.

A millionaire has been handing out envelopes stuffed with cash, randomly and anonymously.

A consumer economics program on Israel’s Channel 10 found security camera footage of the unidentified millionaire leaving hundreds of shekels on lucky shoppers’ cars.

With the cash he left a note explaining he recently came into a lot of money and decided to be generous.

According to the “G” shopping mall where this happened, some lucky customers received over three hundred shekels ($75) in small bills.
