Kentucky Man's Message In A Bottle Returns To Him 37 Years Later!

This man should play the lottery! According to WLKY News Louisville, a man named Troy Heller was completely dumbfounded when a letter he threw into the Atlantic Ocean at 10 years old “found its way back” to him.

It was 1985 when he shoved a note into a Pepsi bottle, sealed it, and tossed it into the sea when he was on vacation with his family in Vero Beach, Florida.

Telling the outlet his thoughts at the time, the now 47-year-old said: And it didn’t go far! Nearly 4 decades later it washed on land and was found only 13 miles from the area the then-youngster threw it.

In November, two teachers were cleaning up the beach from Hurricane Nicole when they found the bottle had swept ashore. Instead of keeping it or throwing it away, they handed the message in a bottle to a family who happened to be walking nearby — and they were determined to find the original writer.
