Typo in cover letter arggh

So I just realized I sent out a cover letter to a couple of firms where I state that I am expecting my degree in May of 2012 instead of May of 2013. I have no idea how I made this stupid error (eager to be done with school maybe?), or how I missed it.
Is this an auto-ding do you think? Should I just hope they don't notice it? It's obviously in the first paragraph of the letter...

Probably won't get noticed. Don't do it again.

I had a typo in a cover letter (non-OCI) and got a screener. Waiting to see if I got a callback.

Thanks for the replies all.
I know some people on here have received at the very least screeners despite typos much worse than that, however some of those people were also from T10-T20 schools (I'm T50 =/) so I didn't know if that likely played into the fact that their typos were disregarded.
Fortunately I caught it before I sent it out to too many locations on my current list.
