An increasing number of states having lost money coffers totaling over a billion dollars, and North Carolina isn’t far behind with a pile of $700 Million currently being held by the NC Office of the State Treasurer. Give it a couple more years of more money coming in than being returned to citizens, and N. Carolina will pass that billion dollar mark.

WRAL recently covered the story, and zeroed in on the found money success of one lucky North Carolina unclaimed money searcher:

Cary - Do you know where all your money is? A lot of us think we do, but North Carolina is holding $700 million in unclaimed cash. That means a lot of people are wrong when they think they’ve kept tabs on all their cash.

Bill O’Connor didn’t know he had more than $4,000 in unclaimed cash until WRAL’s 5 On Your Side called him. The money came to be after he invested in the stock market.

Poor Bill was skeptical of NC unclaimed money due to the hearing about so many internet scams. Sadly, with every success story you almost always have the person who found money saying they were hesitant at first:

“The first thing is I didn’t know if it was real or not. I’ve heard of different Internet scams and things like that, so I just wanted to make sure the source was, you know, really who it was,” he said.

Some people will use their slice of the Carolina cash pie to splurge on something, go on vacation or pay off bills. It seems that the money couldn’t have come at a more important time for Mr. O’Connor:

“It was a shock. Especially at a time when I could use the money,” he said.

With unclaimed funds in N. Carolina literally approaching $1 billion, there’s a good chance you’re due a claim… but if you don’t know how to search for unclaimed money the right way, you could wind up chasing your tail. UnclaimedMoney.net is here to help!
