Bank clerk accidentally gives pensioner £190m

A German bank clerk fell asleep at his desk, while his finger was pressed on the number 2 on his keyboard. As a result, he accidentally credited one pensioner's account with 222,222,222.22 euros (or roughly £190 million).

So how could this happen, and what are your rights if the bank makes an error in your favour?
