Grandma finds $97,000 in Cracker Barrel bathroom

She found the purse with nearly $100,000 in it in a Cracker Barrel bathroom last week and gave it back. Watts said the money was in the purse, hanging on the hook of a restroom stall door.

Watts said she searched the bag for a name or address, but I couldn't find one. That is when she spotted the money.

She counted the money with her husband, which was $97,000 in all, and then called Cracker Barrel to leave her information.

"I said, 'I won't tell you what I found in the bathroom, but give them my number if someone calls'," she recalled.

15 minutes later, Watts said a woman called her apartment. She identified the bag and a picture inside.

"She came up and hugged me. She offered me $1,000, but told me she needed every penny she could so I thought, it's not my money. If she needs it that badly, it knew she didn't really want to give it, so I didn't take it," said Watts.
