Bonanza
Classic Western series
A bonanza is a source of great wealth or luck—originally a rich vein of ore in mining, now any windfall or highly profitable situation: The oil discovery was a bonanza for the small town, a box-office bonanza.
The word conveys abundance beyond normal expectations, often with a sense of sudden good fortune.
