Sav films a surface filled with rolled-up notes, which she later smoothes out, with $20, $5 and single dollar bills among the haul.

She continued: "First of all nobody told me you're supposed to clean this out. But there's more. So I found $137. There's got to be a joke about money laundering but I'm not very bright."

The clip was watched more than a million times as people demanded to know more, with Sav posting a series of follow-up videos.

In response to the exact spot where she found the cash, she said "I don't know what yours looks like," while opening the dryer door, and pulling out a vent at the front of the machine.

Sav continued: "Right at the bottom. This cocktail spoon was my best tool to scoop it out. Good luck."

While Mia admitted: "I do this at my apartment complex all the time. It's my gas money."

Shayna commented: "If I go look in my dryer and there's not $100 in there Imma be upset."

Sav later upgraded her tools and went over the machine where she lives, in an unknown location, a second time in the hope of finding more cash.

"Whoever told me to unscrew this and vacuum it out. count your days," she said, after unscrewing a panel and vacuuming inside.

"Going back in to find more money. So there was no more money in there. Thanks for tricking me into cleaning."
