Regional manager typoed my raise... what happens now?

Hello everyone, I work in Location: Alabama (Tacala). My regional manager was supposed to give me a raise that I requested as compensation for me transferring to a different location further from home. Today, I recieved the notification for compensation change in Workday, and signed it.

Then I saw it. The life changing mistake. She added my supposed to be new total pay to what I currently make. I signed a form of compensation change that is over twice what I am supposed to be making.

My nervous system flipped, and at work I start saying "Swear on your life" and run to the bathroom. This amount is staggering to me, a simple shift leader.

Since noticing, I have brought this mistake to the attention of my regional manager. She was barely phased ((fr was frustrating to hear while having the nervous breakdown of my life)). She simply said "someone else will catch it".

The pay I signed for went into effect today. I've just finished a ten hour shift, and I know nothing about the legal ramifications of this. I've heard everything from "you've signed it they can only take you to court" to "if thats what you get paid put it in high yeild savings for if they ask for it back".

Im 20 years old, I feel completely helpless. My mom suggested to not say anything to anyone, as it shoyld have went through several people before it got to me. My boyfriend thinks I'm right to have told the regional manager, but we are bewildered. I could save so much for me and my boyfriend to move out of the country after we graduate. So reddit, what do I do?
