Yee Haw, I got a windfall check.

I had a brokerage account with Wells Fargo for several years. Last week, I received a remediation letter from WF saying an audit had revealed that reward points for Choice Hotels had been miscalculated and I should watch for a cashier check they were sending out.
Today, I get a second letter stating that payouts for the miscalculation would range from $5 to $2,000 and if the difference were for less than $5, I'd receive a check for $5.
In a second envelope was the much anticipated check- for $5.

Will you be declaring that as income on your taxes. lol

My local court house still owes me $5 for Jury Duty, should I sue them for Lost Wages as that $5 could have been bet on a potential Progressive Jackpot???

I had a refund check from AT &T for $0.05 that I kept on my desk as a reminder of stupid things.

Billy, cash the check, put it in one of your homeless gift bags. It will mean something to whoever gets it.

Many years ago I had an IRS tax refund for exactly $1. I never cashed the check. Many years later I had to go into the IRS for some paperwork. When I sat down at the desk the guy said to me "We have been looking for you". Not something you want to hear at the IRS. He mentioned that I had an outstanding check that I never cashed and he walked away. When he came back he had a new check for $1 and said that I need to cash it. I did.

I don't give money to my folks—food, hygiene, and necessities like gloves, hats, blankets.

I have two checks for one cent, although I misplaced one of them. Allstate sent me one when I changed insurances, and Discover sent me one for cashback.
