A customer could not believe her luck when she was accidentally handed a bag full of cash, instead of food, at a drive through in the United States.

Janelle Jones ordered a sweet tea and junior spicy chicken sandwich from a Burger King in New Hampshire but instead discovered $2631 inside her take-away bag.

After speaking with her husband Matthew, Ms Jones returned the money, which was a bank deposit for the fast food restaurant.

The couple, who are Jehovah’s Witnesses said they decided to give the cash back because ‘Jehovah sees everything.’

Mrs Jones said they wanted to have a clean conscience.

"One person said 'they were going to get fired' so it felt good knowing we helped them keep their jobs," she said.

"A manager told me they would give me five free meals."
