Michigan and Ohio Battle to Find Forgotten Funds in Football Challenge during November [ [link removed] ]

"Michiganders Encouraged to Find
Lost or Unclaimed Property This Week"

LANSING, Mich. – Michiganders have a long-standing rivalry with our Buckeye neighbor to the south, especially during football season. This week, you too can channel your competitive Wolverine spirit and be part of Michigan’s blitz for the win.

*Michigan Unclaimed Property* is challenging the *Ohio Division of Unclaimed Funds* to see which state’s residents can find and claim the most forgotten funds. Special focus is on the University of Michigan vs. the Ohio State University game on November 29, which will spotlight the sparring states’ "Find Forgotten Funds-Football Edition" competition.

“This is a fun and spirited way to celebrate Michigan’s rivalry with ‘that state to the south’—and remind everyone who’s really on top,” said Terry Stanton, manager of Michigan Unclaimed Property. “The clock may run out on the game November 29, but there’s no time limit on claiming what’s yours. Unclaimed property is always available to its rightful owner.”

All Michigan residents are encouraged to visit Michigan.gov/UnclaimedProperty [ [link removed] ] from now until November 30 to scoop up forgotten cash or property. 

Michigan Unclaimed Property is looking for a repeat performance of their 2023 Michigan-Ohio Challenge victory.

At the midway point of the Challenge, Ohio holds a slim lead, so we need all of Michigan to get out there and search. Let’s win where it counts!

Michigan has returned more than $675 million to rightful owners or their heirs over the last five years, and a quick online search could reunite you, your friends and your family members with a potential windfall, including long-lost:


* Checking and savings accounts
* Certificates of Deposit (CD)
* Over payments
* Uncashed Checks (payroll, refunds, money orders, cashier checks, insurance benefits, etc.)
* Dividends Stocks and bonds
* Contents of a safe deposit box 

As part of the home team, we want to award Michiganders the MVP (Most Valuable Property), but even more – we want our state to win the Find Forgotten Funds-Football Edition challenge. Rush to Michigan.gov/UnclaimedProperty [ [link removed] ] and let’s win where it counts.
