Americans can search online for unclaimed funds, including uncashed checks and forgotten property, with states like Arizona and California providing databases for potential windfalls, including unclaimed lottery prizes.
How to Find and Claim Unclaimed Money in Arizona Using an Online Database
According to The US Sun, every year, Americans leave millions of dollars unclaimed money in uncashed checks and forgotten property. In Arizona, the Department of Revenue recently returned a record-breaking $88 million to owners. This money included claims from just a dollar to as much as $1.5 million. There is still a lot of unclaimed money waiting to be found by its rightful owners.
Arizona makes it easy for people to find and claim their missing money through an online database. Residents can search for unclaimed property by entering their names into the system, which is part of the National Association of State Treasurers’ MissingMoney.com. If a match is found, people can file a claim by showing proof of their identity, such as their Social Security number. The state will only provide specific details about the property or money after processing the claim.

Other states and counties also offer similar resources. For example, San Diego County in California has a system to track unclaimed funds, with thousands of dollars set to go to the county’s general fund if not claimed by September 22. Unclaimed lottery prizes are another source of potential money, like a $50,000 Powerball prize in South Carolina and two unclaimed tickets in Colorado. Since billions of dollars are available, checking the unclaimed property database every few years is a good idea.
