You Might Be Rich and not even know it, Says Dateline MSNBC

You might be rich, a segment that airs Sundays on MSNBC in the U.S, says there could be money sitting around in State coffers that’s yours and you don’t even know it.

On Sunday night Dateline MSNBC aired an episode of You might be rich where they discovered a man was owed $1,046,000 when he only expected to recover about $50,000 doing his own research. In fact, the show has put up a website where you can go and enter your details and find out for yourself if the government owes you money.

Here’s the link to the “You might be rich” website.

Here’s more info about the show You might be rich from the Dateline MSNBC site:

In state treasuries across America, billions of dollars in unclaimed property sits, waiting to be returned to millions of people. Yet many state officials don’t have the resources to find everyone. Last August, Dateline NBC helped states crack some of their toughest, unsolved cases with the result of nearly $2 million being returned to average Americans. Now NBC News’ Tiki Barber and his team, including NBC News’ Peter Alexander and MSNBC’s Tamron Hall, are back at again, finding ordinary people who are unaware they have money coming to them in “You Might Be Rich!”
