Sometimes fate plays such a joke that even a person himself is surprised. Imagine, if you go to have coffee in the morning and suddenly you come to know that you have become the richest person in the world, what will be your reaction. Something similar happened with Sophie Downing, a 29-year-old business owner from Nottingham, Britain. He received a simple £10 gift card for Christmas, but when he bought a coffee with it, the amount shown on the receipt shocked everyone. According to the receipt, there was a huge amount of £63 quadrillion left in his gift card. This amount was said to be thousands of times more than the total wealth of Elon Musk and hundreds of times larger than the world economy. However, there is a big twist in this story.
How she became the ‘richest woman’
According to media reports, Sophie Downing had received a £10 gift card from a coffee shop named 200 Degrees Coffee on Christmas. On February 12, he went to the outlet at Flying Horse Walk and bought a Matcha Latte. When the bill was paid, she herself was surprised to see the receipt that came out of the machine. The receipt showed that there was an amount of £63 quadrillion left in his card i.e. 63 followed by 15 zeros.
shadow confusion at cash counter
Sophie humorously told that when she used the card for the first time, even the employee standing at the counter got confused. Surprise was clearly visible on his face. Sophie said that she had never seen anything like this before. He also told this to his partner and both of them took it as a funny incident.
what was the real reason
However, the truth turned out to be something else. A spokesperson for coffee shop 200 Degrees said that it was a technical and administrative mistake. Actually, instead of entering the value of the gift card, its card number was entered into the system by mistake. For this reason a very large amount appeared on the receipt. According to the spokesperson, the same amount was taken from the customer as it should have been. Only the correct amount was left in the gift card after purchase. Only the wrong balance was printed on the receipt. Later, a new receipt with the correct balance was also given to the customer. The barista jokingly gave the wrong receipt to Sophie as a souvenir.
