But some cash dispensers in England proved to be quite the philanthropists. Thanks to a software glitch, a financial institution's ATMs gave away more than $1.3 million. Evidently, people would put in their bank cards and make their withdrawals, but the software didn't record the debits. Translation -- free money! Never has being an ATM user been so lucrative. It took the bank five days to catch on that it was using a prodigal product.
