A British cash machine became a big hit this week after it started paying out twice as much money as it should.
The ATM, outside a supermarket in they city of Hull in northern England, began spewing out double the money on Tuesday afternoon and continued doing so for several hours, drawing a crowd of hundreds eager to cash in on the mistake.
Those requesting the maximum daily withdrawal of £300 ($600) were being given £600 and a receipt for £300.
”People were calling their mates up and telling them to get down there,” the Hull Daily Mail quoted a passer-by as saying.
After several hours the machine finally ran out of money. – Reuters
