(AP) - GREENVILLE, South Carolina-A Goodwill Industries worker who turned in more than $5,000 (€3,700) she found in donated pajama pants will get to keep the money because the owner could not be found.

Kelli Owens, a 21-year-old single mother of three, was sorting donated clothes as part of her training at Goodwill earlier this month when she found the money. She took it straight to her supervisor.


"She will get to keep the money," Goodwill spokeswoman Crystal Hardesty said Friday. "It's being invested into a scholarship fund."

Owens plans to go to Greenville Technical College to pursue a career in law enforcement.
