Transactions confused with interest : interest on saving bond given as a gift

السؤال

Assalamu Alaikum, this question refers to the interest that might be earned from United States savings bonds. These are money bonds that can be purchased for one price, and as the years go by it gains interest. My question is this : my mother has sent me a US savings bond that someone had given to me as a gift 20 years ago (my mother was holding onto it-I did not know about it). Since I did not know about the bond.. And therefore was not intending to gain interest from it.. And it was a gift... Can I keep the interest ? I think my case might be different than the person who saves money with the intention of getting the interest. Please advice me what to do. I could really use any money i can get, but I do not want to do anything Haram. Thank you. Assalamu Alaikum
