Santa Has Just Paid Off Nearly $50,000 In Accounts At Walmart

Santa Has Just Paid Off Nearly $50,000 In Accounts At Walmart

Merry Christmas.

Someone, who I can only assume is the real Father Christmas, has paid off debts for almost 200 Walmart accounts, totalling $46,265.59 (£36,000).

The generous man's identity remains a mystery - but it's definitely St Nic - as he sent in a woman to deliver the cheque. She rocked up to the store last Wednesday, introduced herself as 'Santa B' and handed over the big bucks.

Walmart has refused to name the donor but confirmed that the cheque was signed by a man, who is most likely Kris Kringle.

The cheque was enough to pay off 194 accounts in full at the Everett Walmart in Pennsylvania, the Bedford County Free Press reported.

A Walmart spokesperson told CNBC: "When customers quietly pay off others' layaway (credit account) items, we're reminded how good people can be."

This is the third year the unnamed man has spread Christmas cheer at Pennsylvanian Walmart by paying off some accounts in the red.

All I'm saying is, if you live in Pennsylvania, it might be worth opening an account and doing your shopping there next year - there's a good chance you won't be paying it off.

One lucky Walmart shopper told CNBC that she owed $75 on an Xbox for her grandson and she was worried about how she would pay for it after a complication with surgery meant she lost her job. Heart-warming stuff.
