A Florida woman was stunned after she found US$1 billion ($1.32 billion) in her bank account - but she was unable to withdraw a single note.

Largo woman Julia Yonkowski went to her local bank to withdraw US$20 ($26.41) from an ATM when she discovered the presumed error, local outlet WPTV reported.

Her account balance read US$999,985,855.94 ($1,320,631,320.65).

However, she said she couldn't even withdraw her original US$20.

"When I put in for the US$20, the machine came back and said, 'We'll give you the US$20, but that'll cause an overdraft and you will be charged,' and I said, 'Oh just forget it," she said.

She said she was "horrified", knowing it was not her money.

She has contacted Chase bank for an explanation.
