I'm playing some sort of money-tunnel slot machine in the casino. You look through the window, money is blowing everywhere, it's like one of those money tunnels stunts that radio stations pull, only with this you don't get it in and grab it, you just put in your coins and it piles up...
And I'm winning. Lots it would appear, opening the machine there are neat banded straps of hundred and fifty dollar bills, I've won, big time, and I stuff the muff of my hoodie with money and leave the casino...
...I'm at a shop, trying to buy a snack, but the money keeps falling out, the bills are wrong, too large, they won't accept them, it's not working...
...and I run into my boss and he's buying me drinks, trying to sit me down and talk to me, wants to make sure I'm not going to quit after my big win, me, all I'm trying to do is to find my way to the boy's mother, I owe her some money and I want to give it to her before it all disappears from my hoodie...

Perhaps I should have been clearer. A older hoarder dies with only $200 in the bank, while cleaning up his estate officials find an estimated $7 Million Dollars in Gold bullion, bars and coins in a crawlspace.
