According to the article, it was dispensing $20s instead of $10s which means someone loaded the $20s in the wrong slot. In order to exploit this, you'd have to make the machine dispense a $10 bill which means you can't withdrawal in multiples of 20's. Example: withdrawing $30 would not make the machine give you $60, but rather $40 since it would dispense one $20 bill from the $20s slot and another $20 from the (incorrectly loaded) $10s slot.
RTFA!"A spokeswoman for Tesco, which operates the cash machine, said it would not try to recoup the money, adding it was not known how much extra money was taken."
I worked a temp job several years ago at a company (that shall remain nameless) that manufactures and maintains bank machines. This sort of thing happened pretty regularly, though the "problem" was usually addressed quickly.

The machine must have thought the tray contained $10 bills and dispensed 2 for every $20 withdrawn.

They'll just send the bill to your house and if you refuse to pay that they'll send it to a debt collection agency.
