Free money or just an interesting story?

Interesting thing happened to a friend of mine recently.
So, he tried to purchase a MoneyGram Money Order at WalMart with Visa Buxx Debit card. All went fine until the MO was issued, but then something happened to their register, the receipt printer got jammed, and a Supervisor needed to restart the whole register. To be sure the transaction happened and were complete they made him call his Debit Card issuer for them to talk to them and get confirmation that the transactions are not in Pending status and are completed. They got their confirmation. But then, now my friend is telling me that couple of hours later he got credit to his debit card about the whole amount. And he still has the money order. So, is this free money?
