DALLAS — When a Texas woman checked her bank account earlier this week, she initially had a little extra money in it to spend on the holiday season. Ruth Balloon's account had an extra $37,203,337 in it! Balloon told KTVT she was hopeful at first.

"I hoped someone really gifted us with that $37 million,” she said.

The news outlet reports Balloon first told her husband about it. He called the bank who said there had been a clerical error. The bank took the money out of their account and apologized to the couple for the mistake.

“I was a millionaire, I have a screen shot of it so I can say that now,” said Balloon.

1. Well, I think the bank owes them at least $1K for "Pain and Suffering"...

and "Blatant Honesty".

The "Pain and Suffering" happened when they withdrew the money, not when they deposited it.

3. She betteer call the bank back and demand they notify the IRS & Tx. Dept, of taxation

that it was THEIR ERROR and not real money! Tax Depts. are always eager to jump on what they see das a windfall of $$ and it will be her nightmare if she has to try to straighten it out later.
