New Chicago, IN (CNN) - While many Americans are patiently waiting for their stimulus checks to come in from the IRS, one man in Indiana got a little more than what was expected. Indiana Firefighter Charles Calvin went to the ATM to withdraw $200 from his bank account and when he went to check his remaining balance, he couldn’t believe how much he had.
What was supposed to be a $1,700 stimulus check, turned out to be an $8.2 million dollar deposit.
Calvin checked his account again and even showed his fire captain.
Out of sheer confusion, he called his bank to see if it was real.
According to the bank, they did not see the amount in his account, but they did see the $1,700 stimulus payment.
This volunteer firefighter wonders if there was some sort of glitch and if taxpayers are receiving way more or less than they should.
Although it is unfortunate, Calvin will always remember that short moment when he was a millionaire.
The Treasury Department is direct depositing stimulus money into the accounts of many Americans.
Most people who are eligible should have their money within two weeks.

SANFORD, Fla. - Millions of Americans are checking their bank accounts on Tuesday as they anxiously await the arrival of their coronavirus stimulus check. On Tuesday, Diana Lagulli sent in a photo of her latest ATM receipt to only FOX 35 News. She said that she was withdrawing part of her coronavirus stimulus payment at a Wawa in Sanford when she spotted the remaining balance at $8.5 million.
"I laughed and told our son, look, your parents are millionaires," she told FOX 35 News. However, the $8.5 million was not actually in the account when she checked with the bank. Apparently, this was not the first time this has happened to her either. On Monday, after withdrawing funds from an ATM, the account's balance was at $3.5 million. Again, the money was not actually there. A similar incident happened to a man in Indiana. A report said that after withdrawing money from his account, his remaining account balance was $8.2 million. However, by the time he called his bank to tell them the news, the money was gone.
According to a senior Treasury official, the majority of eligible Americans will receive their coronavirus aid payments no later than April 15. Individuals will get $1,200 and married couples will get $2,400. Adults will also get $500 for each child who qualifies. Those who filed federal income tax returns in 2018 and 2019, as well as most seniors and retirees, will have their payments directly deposited into their bank accounts. Those who do not have direct deposit set up will receive a check.
Makes me wonder if I had millions in my account without knowing
