Some University of South Carolina students are going crazy for an online account named @findthemoneygamecocks.

The account hides money in $20 increments, and since its start in August, it has given more than $500 and gained more than 900 followers online.

USC student Noah Foley found a drop last week and attributes the success to the fun surrounding the account.

“College students always want money,” Foley said. “We’re all broke here, so I feel like it’s a great opportunity, and it’s fun. It’s like a little scavenger hunt.”

Da Ke, a professor at USC who does research in behavioral finance, says the positives of participating outweigh negatives like time spent trying to find the money.

“In the student’s decision to participate or not, the benefit versus the cost,” Ke said. “But here it’s really the benefit.”

The account’s owner is completely anonymous, but Carolina News spoke with a student worker. The worker asked to remain anonymous to keep the secrecy surrounding the account.

They said that the success is clear with students on campus with how fast people arrive to find the money and the effort they put in to do so.

“Someone stole their friend’s scooter to literally scooter all the way over to the science and technology video,” they said.

On average they said people arrive to collect the money anywhere between five and ten minutes after the video is posted on Instagram. Foley came to collect the money in under three minutes.

When asked, the worker said they were unsure where the money came from. The account’s bio says they are powered by an online sportsbook and they also run sports betting on the weekend for people who follow the account.
