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.
