An Indiana volunteer firefighter was shocked after checking his bank balance only to find that $8.2 million (£6.1m) had been deposited in his bank account. 

FF Charles Calvin said that he stopped by an ATM at a local shop to withdraw $200 from his bank account before doing some shopping.

But when he pulled his receipt to check his balance, he was shocked to find that nearly 10 million dollars had been deposited into his account. 

Calvin had been expecting a stimulus package payment of $1,700 but could not believe his eyes when he saw that he had become an overnight multi-millionaire. 

Calvin told the local news station, WGN-TV that, in reality, the mistake “kind of sucks”. 

“You go from being a millionaire one second then back to being broke again. But hey, once you’re poor you don’t have anywhere else to go but up” Calvin added.

An investigation is underway to determine how the money was placed in Calvin’s account.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.

    He should have kept it until it was asked for.
