A 15-month-old child proved lucky for her baby sitter when she discovered $1,300 in cash stuck between a thrift store book bought earlier that day for $0.25 cents.

Rhiannon Barnes' baby sitter Sheila Laughridge says it was the toddler who wanted her to buy the book and was stunned when the kid found a brown paper bag full of $100s, $50s, $20s and $10s.

According to reports, Laughridge took the money to a local bank but only received $300 because most of the bills were torn and dated back to 1960s. The rest of the ton bills were returned to the U.S. treasury department.

Joking about her daughter's new found talent, Rhiannon's mother, Shirley Barnes, says now she'll let her daughter pick out lottery her tickets for her.
