Episode notes

It's not like you would find this prize and it would be a million dollars in cash. People were relying on what's called Confirm or Clues, which means they would come up with a location completely on their own. Some people were extremely close, but kind of unknowingly close. It was much more about childhood excitement and adventure in finding treasure buried in the ground.

The story of a cryptic children’s book, a real-life treasure hunt, and its very mysterious winner: “He refused to be on camera. It’s just his voice. His wife even asks that they disguise his voice, but she asks too late. The interview is already happening. And she faints.”
