According to a recent story on Dateline NBC, a number of lucky Mississippi residents were recently reunited with their forgotten funds and it was actually a pleasant surprise for the majority of them. A Biloxi, Mississippi resident learned that he had $30,000 from an investment his father had forgotten to tell him about before he passed away. A couple who had lost all of their possessions to the recent hurricane received $250,000 from Mississippi unclaimed property. Another woman who was attempting to rebuild homes for her mother and herself received $100 thousand. Gordon White, was in the middle of building his dream home when Katrina struck and he had to live in a trailer, but then got $200,000 from bank stock shares his father had never told him about. One of the biggest claims handed out so far was to a Vietnam vet who had been forced to retire from his job as a company supervisor because of post-traumatic stress. It turns out that he was owed nearly a million dollars from old company stocks he had forgotten about after retiring from said company.
