A California woman who received a free couch from a stranger online made the discovery of a lifetime when she later found $36,000 in cash tucked away inside.
Vicky Umodu, a resident of San Bernardino County, said she was looking through Craigslist to purchase furniture for her new home when she found some pieces that someone was giving away for free, KGO-TV reported.
"I said, 'Maybe it's a gimmick.' I said, 'Let me call them,'" Umodu told the outlet.
The woman later learned the family was giving away the furniture due to the recent passing of a loved one, according to the report.
