OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The
Oklahoma treasurer's office says it handed out more than $250,000 in
unclaimed cash and stock to nearly 500 people at the Tulsa State Fair
this year.
Oklahoma Treasurer Ken
Miller says that's how much money was found for people who visited the
treasurer's booth at the fair and conducted searches through the
office's unclaimed property database.
Treasurer employees
discovered more than $259,000 in unclaimed property after workers
conducted more than 3,350 database searches at this year's fair. The
largest find was $32,000 from the sale of stock for a man in Grove.
Miller said Oklahomans can also search for unclaimed property on their website, www.treasurer.ok.gov .
Last month, Miller's staff found more than $190,000 for more than 600 visitors to the Oklahoma State Fair in Oklahoma City.
