Driver Fills up Gas Tank, Receives Bill For $81 Billion: Juan Zamora pumped $26 of gas into his car at a Conoco service station in Richland. But the PayPal debit card he used recorded the transaction as $81,400,836,908.

When Juan Zamora stopped to refuel his car at a Conoco service station in Richland, the gas pump’s calculator registered a total fee of $26.

But in a freak computer hiccup, the PayPal debit card he used recorded the transaction as $81,400,836,908. Yes, you read that correctly, that’s more than 81 billion dollars.

The exact cause of the error is still unknown.
