GREENSBORO, N.C. — This weekend is St. Patrick's Day which means you're going to see lots of shamrocks, there will be plenty of green beer offered and legend has it, there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
But that last part is just a made-up, right? Well, there is a chance you have money coming to ya!
"For St Patrick's Day for all the 2 Wants To Know viewers, we have over 59 people with names including Lucky or Irish, 27 with Clover, and 23 with Rainbows. And there's almost $300 million sitting in NCcash.com that belongs in the Triad area," said Dale Folwell, NC State Treasurer.
You really could see green this St. Patty's Day weekend by checking NCcash.com. It's free to check and get your cash.
Where is this money coming from?
These are funds from closed bank accounts, wages that were owed, utility deposits, insurance policy proceeds, stocks, and bonds as well as the contents of safe deposit boxes that have been abandoned for some time.
"Anytime a lockbox is abandoned, anytime the bank has exhausted to find the rightful owner all those contents have to come to the Treasurer's office. A couple of years ago we were able to return some WWII medals to a family that had been looking for them for 12 years," said Folwell.
The way you check to see if you, your family members, your church, or your business has unclaimed cash is by going to NCcash.com. You simply type in your name. To narrow down the search you can put in your city and zip code.
If you have cash you will be asked for your social security number to confirm who you are. Remember, you never have to pay to search your name or get your cash.
