ABC News & Good Morning America article by ELISABETH LEAMY
Someone in Missouri will get very lucky today. That person will be the recipient of the largest unclaimed money award in U.S. history: $6.1 million.
The states estimate that one in every 10 people has unclaimed money waiting for them. Sometimes the amounts can be eye-popping. In dusty warehouses in states all across the country lie records detailing $32 billion worth of unclaimed money, just waiting for its rightful owners.
“Good Morning America” has been reuniting people with their forgotten funds. We’ve found them $418,598 so far.
And today, the state of Missouri will present the biggest known unclaimed money check in U.S. history.
The $6.1 million check will go to a Kansas City woman who wants to remain anonymous. Years ago, her ancestors invested in an obscure company. The stock got lost as it was passed down through the generations, growing to the sum it’s worth today.
