Aiden Jonkman has claimed the $10,000 prize from Bank of Utah's 2026 Where's the Wallet Cash Quest. After a five-week search involving various clues, Jonkman located the hidden wallet near the Alien Tower at the Point of the Mountain, overlooking the Bank of Utah branch in Lehi.

The search concluded after five weeks of activity that included weekly clues based on Utah history and local landmarks. Jonkman stated he began the search after seeing a billboard and a digital advertisement, eventually following the hunt via social media and the Cache Me Outside podcast.

Jonkman's discovery followed several weeks of searching Utah trails. According to Bank of Utah, the winner of the quest receives $10,000 and selects a local nonprofit to receive the remaining $10,000 of the total $20,000 prize pool.

Jonkman selected The Family Place to receive the charitable portion of the prize. The organization, which provides therapy, family education, and crisis support through locations in Logan, Hyrum, and Smithfield, was chosen for its work with children and families in need.

The Family Place has been named Best Nonprofit Organization and Best Place to Volunteer for five consecutive years. Founded in 1982, the nonprofit also operates the Starfish Children's Shelter and the Kids Place temporary care program.
