Obviously that guy knew he lost something. Other stories you hear like people leaving valuable instruments in the back of cabs and so on, there is some sort of loss that people realize. That's what makes it so bad. This old lady would have never known she had the winner unless the kid called her back. He would have been free and clear, instead he basically gives her/them a million dollars and they throw him some chump change.
