and happened to notice the inside of the cap said "Million dollar winner!"

I think we all know what the PC answer is, but what would you really do?
To me it depends on the place. At a team meeting, we have a soda machine which we pay money for the soda, so I would keep most of the money, and donate some to the team as a sponsor. At someones house, I would probably give up the cap, as I didn't pay for the soda nor was it ever truly mine, and hope that they might share as I did give the cap back. At a sponsor's facility, well again its like the team thing where if I bought it from a machine then I would keep it, but if it were provided, I am not quite sure what I would do and it would depend on the sponsor as well. But again very interesting question being posed here.
