The 31-year-old star was gifted the sum by a New Zealand-based supporter of the ITV soap - on which he has played David Platt since 2000 - after the fan passed away.
When asked on his Instagram Stories what the kindest thing a fan has ever done for him is, he said: "Gave me five grand in their will. From New Zealand, a fan. Died, and gave me 10 per cent of his estate, which was five grand. So cheers."
Jack also revealed during the Q&A that he would be a brain surgeon if he wasn't an actor, and joked he wouldn't pick Julia Goulding (Shona Ramsey) as his favourite person to work with on set, choosing Jimmi Harkishin (Dev Alahan) instead.
While sitting alongside Julia for the question and answer session, he quipped: "It's not her ... Dev!"
Jack and Julia appeared to be sitting in the Rovers Return set during their Instagram session, and it comes just weeks after the actor admitted he cannot imagine leaving the soap because he has too much fun "messing around" with his co-stars.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "Someone came up to me over the weekend and said, 'Oh would you ever branch out and do other things?'
"And I said, 'No,' because I get to d**k around, I get to just p**s around a bit, take the p**s.
"It's fun, and every now and again we'll do a bit of acting, you know what I mean? Then we'll just mess around for a bit longer in the green room."
