Overview
- Sophie Downing, 29, first saw the astronomical balance on February 12 at 200 Degrees Coffee in Nottingham’s Flying Horse Walk.
- The till and receipt displayed a balance exceeding £63 quadrillion, and a second use on February 17 still showed tens of quadrillions.
- The barista appeared baffled but completed the sale, with Downing buying a matcha latte before noticing the figure on the receipt.
- Downing says she will not use the card again and speculates a scanning or barcode error caused the reading, which applies only to store purchases.
- 200 Degrees Coffee has not provided an explanation or response, as coverage highlights that comparisons to billionaire fortunes are purely theoretical.
