A Florida woman was left "horrified" after randomly discovering that $1 billion had been deposited into her bank account. Julia Yonkowski discovered the unbelievable deposit had been made when she went to withdraw $20 from an ATM, and subsequently contacted Chase bank about the mysterious $999,985,855.94. "When I put in for the $20, the machine came back and said we’ll give you the $20 but that'll cause an overdraft and you will be charged and I said oh just forget it," she told <a href="https://www.wfla.com/news/pinellas-county/largo-woman-discovers-nearly-1b-in-her-bank-account/" rel="nofollow">WFLA</a>. Watch Yonkowski discuss becoming an unexpected billionaire below:  [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j-50D90vYY]] In her interview with WFLA, she said she was "horrified" by the money. She said: "Oh my God, I was horrified. I know most people would think they won the lottery but I was horrified. "I know I've read stories about people that took the money or took out money, and then they had to repay it and I wouldn't do that anyway because it's not my money." She went on to say that she was "scared" by the incident because of the possibility of "cyber threats" and what this could do to the money that actually belongs to her in the account. "It kind of scares me because you know with cyber threats. You know I don't know what to think," she added. <img class="wp-image-1263114508" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/06/Screen-Shot-2021-06-22-at-16.59.22.png" alt="Dollars." width="676" height="475" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Pexels / Pixabay]] Yonkowski insists that the money definitely isn't hers, per <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2021/06/22/florida-woman-finds-999985855-94-that-isnt-hers-in-her-bank-account-14809540/">Metro</a>, but despite calling her bank multiple times, she did not initially receive a response about the issue. She said: "I just can't get through. I get tied up with their automated system and I can't get a person." Yonkowski appeared to become the 615th wealthiest person in the United States as a result of the error. However, as of today, June 23, it has been revealed that the money in Yonkowski's account was actually a bank glitch caused by her account being overdrawn. A Chase spokesperson told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/15355829/found-1billion-account-20-bank-doesnt-care/">The Sun</a>: "Our local branch and customer service group spoke to Mrs. Yonkowski yesterday to clarify the discrepancy." <h6>Featured image credit: Alamy / Alexander Mils</h6>
