A bug in Google Pay's reward program accidentally deposited cash in users' accounts, ranging from $10 to $1,000. The error was caused by a message meant for internal beta testing being sent to regular users. Google tried to take the money back but won't chase down users who spent or transferred it. If the credit couldn't be reversed, the money is theirs to keep.
