Fairgoers Find $675K in Lost Money

Visitors to the Ohio State Fair turned up more than $675,000 in money the state was holding in their names.

The Ohio Department of Commerce’s Division of Unclaimed Funds runs a booth at the fair every year, where fairgoers can look up their own names in the state’s database.

The money comes from forgotten bank accounts, uncashed paychecks, utility deposits, and insurance payouts that companies hand over to the state after years of no activity.

Ohioans who missed the fair can search the same database online.
