Christmas came early for some lucky cash-grabbers when a malfunctioning ATM started spitting out $100 bills instead of twenties in Texas, according to reports.

The broken Bank of America ATM in northern Harris County caused a two-hour frenzy after a man posted on social media about accidentally receiving a Benjamin when he withdrew cash around 11 p.m. Sunday, Click2Houston reported.

That caused cars to line up and even fights to break out at the drive-thru ATM as others tried to take advantage of the glitch.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office eventually shut down the cash free-for-all.

The machine remained out of order Monday morning and the bank was made aware of the situation.

It’s unclear how many people got rich quick — or if those who took the cash committed any crime.
