| Bank of Canada - Search for Unclaimed Money
Prize: The law in Canada is that if a bank account has been inactive for 10 years, the money in that account must be turned over to the Bank of Canada. The Bank of Canada is currently holding almost $1 billion and they have a website that lets you search their database to see if you or someone you know is the owner of any of it. It's a long shot but maybe you had a bank account as a kid with a few bucks in it and you forgot about it. It only takes a few seconds to find out. Frequency: This is a freebie, not a sweepstakes End Date: Unknown | posted on June 24, 2015 |

A few years ago, I found approximately $1,500 of my Dad's money.

Cool, I hope it turns out to be your father's Stephanie.
That's almost like winning a contest.

A few years ago I got a call from someone who told me he knew how I could get $600 and he'd tell me if I agreed to give him $100. I agreed. It turned out that I had an old bank account that I had been using when I was in university and I forgot about it. The guy who called me found out about it in the Canada Gazette. In those days there wasn't a website but these things were printed in the Gazette and I don't remember how you could get a copy of it. Anyway, I got the money and paid the guy like I had agreed to.

I found almost $1,900 for a friend who used to work up in the Yukon and had changed his last name. I've also let various charities know if I saw unclaimed money. I never ask for anything in return, just feel good doing this.

Wow! Thanks for this - I thought I was very careful about my money, but somehow I missed $6l of my son's money when he was young. It somehow didn't get sent with everything else when we moved.
