The State of MS is home to some of my favorite things in the world – sweet potatoes, rootbeer (invented in Biloxi in 1898), and catfish. MS's Treasury Dept. has also become home to something that's on the top of my list and I suspect yours too – money. Mississippi unclaimed money, to be exact. "Nearly 1 in 5 Mississippians have money representing over $38 million that needs to be claimed," stated MS State Treasurer Tate Reeves in a press release recently.

We put a book out every three years and send it out through various media,".
