There was a rush to play the lottery in Acerra after a post office customer received a large sum from her ATM without asking for it.
The woman, named Maria, spent the entire weekend searching for the owners of the money that the system had mistakenly paid to her and eventually returned it.

An ATM malfunction had disbursed an amount of money to Maria before she had even submitted her request. She realized it was a mistake and attempted to trace the money back to its rightful owners. She shared her story on social media and contacted the post office, but since it was the weekend, it was nearly impossible to resolve the issue quickly.
This morning, after a relentless word of mouth, the rightful owners were traced: a young couple who were supposed to pay the rent with the money.
