at Chase Bank on June 19, but she decided to check her balance while she was there. What she saw on the paper slip surprised her: a balance of $995,985,856.
When an unnamed 18-year-old found herself locked out of her home in Henderson, Nevada, on June 15, she followed the exam- ple of a certain jolly old man in red and tried to enter the home via the chimney, United Press International reported.
Doctors first insert car- tilage or an implant in the back of the ear, then fill it in with hyaluronic acid. Plastic surgery clinics in China are experiencing such great de- mand that patients have to get on waiting lists.
“I was horrified,” she told WFLA-TV. “I know most people would think they won the lottery, but I was horri- fied.”
