$1 BILLION unclaimed money in Florida

I went to this site: http://www.fltreasurehunt.com and voila! I had a $166.00 unclaimed check from my college days. It's worth a look. Just type in your name and see if you get anything. I request a 10 percent finders fee... But for you, it's free!!!

Post a comment and let me know if you got any money out of this.

The Chief Financial Officer holds unclaimed property accounts valued at more than $1 billion, mostly from dormant accounts in financial institutions, insurance and utility companies, securities and trust holdings.

In addition to money and securities, unclaimed property includes tangible property such as watches, jewelry, coins, currency, stamps, historical items and other miscellaneous articles from abandoned safe deposit boxes.

Unclaimed money is deposited into the state school fund, where it is used for public education. There is, however, no statute of limitations, and citizens have the right to claim their property any time at no cost.
