Christmas cash: Man gives $50 bills at Goodwill

[December 22, 2010]  MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Those at a Goodwill store in Memphis got some extra Christmas spending money thanks to a man who handed out $50 bills to everyone.

According to WMC-TV, no one knows the identity of the man, who passed out the money Monday.

Store employee Chestine Dunn says the man carried a stack of envelopes with him. Inside each envelope was $50.

Witnesses say the man didn't buy anything and asked for nothing in return. He simply gave lucky strangers an envelope, wished them a merry Christmas and moved on.

One of lucky ones, Betty Ridenour, says everyone was stunned.
