Sadly this was not a random act of kindness, but a radio station stunt. www.today.com/news/mystery-100-bills-stashed-stores-solved-its-radio-promo-8C11266212Who is spreading love around the Pacific Northwest, $100 at a time? Turns out a country music radio station in Oregon is the source of the windfall.
More than a dozen people have reported finding $100 bills tucked into their groceries – in egg cartons, ice cream cone containers, boxes of cookies and even a chocolate bar. The products were purchased from various grocery stores and at least one Walmart location throughout Oregon and southwest Washington.
On Wednesday, Portland radio station 98.7 The Bull (KUPL) cleared up the mystery by acknowledging it hid the greenbacks as part of an on-air promotion that started early last week.

I'm a little skeptical. There was a different article this morning that said they wouldn't claim responsibility for all of them.
Plus, what a bad promo- what if no one ever called it in?
