Lake County firefighter expecting stimulus check gets millions in bank account

A volunteer firefighter from Lake County was a millionaire — but only for a few minutes.

Charles Calvin, of New Chicago, withdrew some money from an ATM last weekend.

When he looked down at his receipt, he noticed his balance: $8.2 million.

Calvin told WGN 9 in Chicago that he ran his card through the ATM again to make sure it was accurate, and the balance was the same. He was a millionaire.

He called the bank to let them know, but by the time they investigated, the money was gone.

Calvin did get something good out of the transaction — his $1,700 stimulus check from the government.
