JUNE 22, 2021A Florida woman is making national news after an apparent bank error in her favor.
WFLA reports Julia Yonkowski went to the ATM at a local Chase Bank in Largo, Fla., on Saturday to withdraw some money, but decided to check her bank balance first. She only planned to take $20 out, but she was shocked when the receipt showed she had nearly $1 billion in her account, or $999,985,855.94.
“Oh my God, I was horrified. I know most people would think they won the lottery, but I was horrified,” she said.
Yonkowski said that she still tried to withdraw $20, but the machine warned her it would cause an overdraft fee so she opted not to touch her account.
