Woman becomes the 'richest person in the world' with £63 QUADRILLION to her name after gift card slip-up - but can only spend it on coffee
But she discovered the balance on the gift card totalled more than £63 quadrillion when using it to buy a matcha latte last week. But a gift voucher totalling that amount would set her up with free matcha lattes for life, and then some. She first used the gift card at the 200 Degrees Coffee shop in Flying Horse Walk in Nottingham city centre during her lunch break on Thursday, February 12. A spokesperson for 200 Degrees said: 'Due to a technical administrative error, the gift card number, rather than the gift card value was entered into the wrong part of the till. 'They were then given a correct receipt which showed the true value of the gift card.'
