Winning the race spawns lucky gold nuggets in the world

Did you pick up the Carrat into an equipped container? Having a Carrat with a prize directly go into your backpack causes nuggets to spawn at the center of the world.

I found a huge pile of individual lucky gold nuggets near the middle of my map, as in, they weren't a stack, but all on top of each other in one spot. Like, 30-40 of them. I noticed I was only getting 2 lucky golds whenever I won a race, no matter how long it was, and I guess this explains where the rest of them were going. I assume this is the same glitch occurring. But I wasn't wearing a backpack when I picked up my carrat the majority of those times.
