Bank mistakenly puts $37M in woman’s account
DALLAS (KTVT) — A Texas woman got quite the surprise when she discovered $37 million in her bank account.
Ruth Balloon was finishing up her shift at work when she decided to take a look at her bank account.
“I was like, ‘Wow! We have a lot of money,” she said.
She discovered her account had an extra $37 million in it. Balloon hoped it was a gift, but called her husband to let him know about the money. He called the bank to ask about the deposit.
Legacy Bank explained the error happened during a manual input of foreign currency and the exchange rate caused the mix up.
“I was a millionaire. I have a screen shot of it, so I can say that now,” Balloon said.
