CHICAGO (WLS) -- Five lucky winners found cash hidden near Castaways at North Avenue Beach on Monday morning. The person hiding money in Los Angeles and New York - and tweeting clues about where to find it - is now at work in Chicago.

People scrambled to find the hidden cash in Millennium Park and Oz Park on the North Side on Sunday. Here is Monday's clue:

@HiddenCash: "Chicago - final drop: What does 'Life of Pi', 'Lord of the Flies' and 'Robinson Crusoe' all have in common? Go there now. 5 envelopes."

About 30 minutes later, California real estate investor Jason Buzi tweeted this clue:

@HiddenCash: "Chicago: Just north of Castaways on North Ave. Beach. Well hidden. Clues to exact placements coming... Go. Be nice. Tweet photo. Pay forward"

Buzi started the game. He hides envelopes full of money and posts clues on Twitter to lead followers to find it. The motive behind the hidden cash is to pay it forward. He hopes by giving money away, those finding it will do something positive with it.
