Description:
In an astonishing turn of events, a man in Chile became a millionaire after discovering an old passbook hidden away in his house.
Exequiel Hinojosa found the 62-year-old passbook while cleaning, unaware that it would change his life forever.
The passbook, which belonged to Hinojosa’s late father, had been issued by a now-defunct bank.
The money had been deposited in the 1960s-70s, with the intention of buying a house, but the family had no knowledge of it.
Initially, Hinojosa believed the passbook was worthless, but the words "State Guarantee" caught his eye, indicating that the government would repay the money if the bank went under.
After a legal battle with the government, Hinojosa successfully claimed the funds, which amounted to $1.2 million, making him a millionaire overnight.
This incredible story is a reminder that sometimes fortune can be found in the most unexpected places.
