People receive thousands of dollars for simply showing up to a funeral

69-year old Wisconsin man Dennis Valstad passed away recently. Valstad was the owner of a small dry-cleaning business who remained unmarried and without kids until his death, leaving him with plenty of money to his name and nothing to do with it.

Valstad got creative with his will and decided that his $500,000 would be divided equally to whoever showed up for his funeral. Valstad assumed not many people would come, but in the end, 270 people showed up to pay their respects, leaving them with about $1,800 each.

This is a great reminder to all to treat others well, and in return, you never know what you can get in return.
