i had something similar happen to me a number of years ago.... but with a lot less money.
i had gone to the bank and used the atm to do a deposit and when i looked at my balance on the receipt there was $10,000 too much in my account.
i went and talked to a teller inquiring about my 'good fortune'. it turns out that it was a teller error as the $10,000 was a down payment from a lady for something that was put into my account by accident.
i did ask what would have happened if i would have spent the money and she said they would have found the error and of course i'd be on the hook for it since it wasn't mine in the first place (which makes complete sense to me!).
