It was a discussion at work yesterday, I've neve lost a big clump of money but I'm constantly losing notes.

A memorable one was one afternoon I grabbed a jacket to go to the pub with, it was the first coldish day of the season so I hadn't worn it for a good 8 months, I was sitting on the train and felt something in the inside pocket and there was $300 bucks there.

I must've been pretty pissed last time I wore it.

Went to the casino around new years about 10 year ago. Had a good night on the Blackjack table and come home with about $2k. A month later I opened the zipped part of my Wallet and found 10 x hundys all nicely paper-clipped together. Thinking there was nothing in it Id left my wallet just casually lying around many times without realising. Was one of the best bonuses I've experienced lol

It was a small money bag that the banks used for silver coins, inside it was a TAB ticket from the previous Thursday night & $670 in cash. I’d had $50 on something in the last at Richmond dogs that got up. Scrawled in drunken writing on the ticket was a note I’d left myself saying “See, I told you you wouldn’t remember”…

I've done similar, where if I'm winning I decide to put chips in a different pocket or give to a friend so I don't spend it - few times i've woken up the next day and either found chips stashed in inside pockets, or had mates call me telling me they're holding xx amount for me
