Your state may owe you a large amount of money: how to get it

Do you need extra money? There is a way to get them. This is not a gimmick, and there are no tricky conditions here. The state you live in could owe you money—and you don't even know it. For example, Florida alone has $2,3 billion waiting for the rightful owners to claim these funds, writes News4Jax.

Since COVID-19 affects everyone in one way or another, checking your name or a relative's name could mean extra money in time for the holidays.

Money comes from a long list of sources such as forgotten bank accounts, credit card balances, discounts, salaries, utility deposits and more. It's not just getting cash: Florida, for example, has a giant vault full of unclaimed valuables such as diamonds, a signed photograph of Muhammad Ali, and even a gold bar that is kept until the rightful owners emerge.
