Indiana’s Favorite Ghoul Sets Sights On Unclaimed Property

With Halloween just around the corner, Indiana icon Sammy Terry is partnering with the Attorney General’s Office to remind Hoosiers to search for unclaimed treats at IndianaUnclaimed.gov.

Sammy Terry, the longest running TV horror host in the world, is featured in radio and TV ads this fall to reunite Hoosiers with their unclaimed property.

“We’re honored to work with Sammy on this ghoulish holiday,” Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “Losing money is a real nightmare, but reclaiming your hard-earned money is safe, secure and free if you visit IndianaUnclaimed.gov.”

In 2022, Rokita’s office returned more than $62 million in unclaimed property to its rightful owners. This year, the office has already returned more than $61 million, and over $700 million is still waiting to be claimed.

“Indiana Unclaimed returns a wicked $1 million every week to Hoosiers across the state,” Terry said. “Text SAMMY to 46220 and search your name for any unclaimed, pleasant nightmares waiting to be claimed by you!”

Unclaimed property is any financial asset with no activity by its owner for an extended period of time. This can include unclaimed wages or commissions, money orders, safety deposit box contents, savings and checking accounts, refunds and overpayments.

Rokita’s office conducts outreach efforts to locate the rightful owners or heirs. Individuals and/or businesses have 25 years to claim money once it is reported to the state.

Visit IndianaUnclaimed.gov or text SAMMY to 46220 to search your name, family or business.
