$50 bonus for customers at Goodwill Store

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Those at a Goodwill store in Memphis got some extra Christmas spending money thanks to a man who handed out $50 bills to everyone.

Store employee Chestine Dunn says the mystery 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.

KMBC's Bev Chapman reported that employees at a thrift store on U.S. 40 were told there would be no bonuses this year. But on Thursday, they received one.

"I have seen one of those in a while. It's a Benjamin," one man said. "This is going to my daughter."

"Five hundred dollars, would that help?" Secret Santa asked a woman.

"Oh, my God! That would help me so much," the woman answered.

Secret Santa gave money to people who are raising other people's children and to those who are trying to raise their own.

"Thank you very much," said another woman who received $500.
