I have two.
1. One year I went in for my annual review and to learn what/if the raise percentage would be for the next year. I am a seasoned employee and love my job, but I’ve done the same job for years. The raise is usually tiny, like 2% or so. I walked out with my first/only “many zeroes” bonus. They forgot to tell me the previous year I qualified for them when earned; literally had no idea.
2. Super-rich friend loved her kitties too much for regular cat sitters so she paid me HUNDREDS to pop in twice a day to feed and clean up after the darlings. We got along great and I love cats, so easy.

I provided the contact info for a high end builder to a client of mine. A referral if you will. Thought I was just being nice and expected nothing in return. About 5 months later I was called and told that there was a cheque waiting for me in their office. I went down and thought I might get $1000. I floated out of there with a $28,000 check in hand. Couldn’t believe it.

Filled out a form and got a check for $5,000 for “unclaimed property”. I dug into it; someone made a banking error when settling the sale of a condo I used to own.

Once my parents wanted to take me to my aunt and uncle’s house for a visit. But just that day I wanted to play a video game that I had just bought. My parents didn’t insist me much, and curiously my console breaks down and I decide to go finally.
My Aunt and Uncle gave me something worth 2000 dollars because they had just become rich and wanted to share with me because I was always visiting them. haha.
