The soda prize is different - the prize was not lost, it was purchased or given you to freely. Obviously the person who handed the bottle to you did not know it was worth a million dollars, but they may or may not have been aware of the contest/prize that was involved at the time.

Well the $100 bill example was a little different, because it caused a loss of $100 to someone. So if I found one, I'd ask some people if they lost any money. If they answer that it was a $100 bill I'd give it back to them.
With the soda cap, nobody else knows (yet) that they could've gained a million.
