Exequiel Hinojosa from Chile became a millionaire overnight after discovering his late father's old bank passbook in the garbage. The government reimbursed him $1.2 million after a legal battle

Some events feel nothing short of a miracle. This was precisely what happened to a man who became a millionaire overnight thanks to an old piece of paper.

Almost everyone has small pieces of paper scattered around their homes, sometimes under the bed, sometimes under the sofa, or even appearing as garbage throughout the house. However, it’s rare for a seemingly worthless piece of paper to change someone’s life. This is what occurred for a person, whose house contained a piece of ‘garbage’ that brought him a fortune.

This incident happened to a man called Exequiel Hinojosa, a resident of Chile, who had never imagined that 10 years after his father’s death, he would receive his blessings in this manner.

Hinojosa’s father had deposited about Rs 1.4 lakh in the bank in the 1960s-70s, intending to buy a house with that money. He passed away and no family member knew about this money. (News 18)
