Millions in forgotten money up for grabs

The State Revenue Office (SRO) has put out a call to Victorians, to check if part of a whopping $111 million in unclaimed money belongs to them.

Over 740,000 entitlements are waiting to be claimed across the state, with individuals and businesses able to claim their unclaimed cash through a simple system, beginning with a search on the SRO’s website.

There are 2,602 outstanding entitlements in Moorabool totalling $264,122, and 1,085 totalling $120,754 in Hepburn.

The money includes share dividends, salaries/wages, rent and bonds, debentures and interest, proceeds from a sale, and Tatts/Intralot/TAB winnings and prizes.

Since 2017, there have been more than 60,000 successful unclaimed money claims from the SRO, worth close to $20 million. These have come from a range of sources, including utilities companies, councils, real estate agents, insurance companies and lotto tickets.

The highest unclaimed gaming ticket in the state is a $2,136,327 Tatts ticket received in March 2016.

It’s free to search the register and make claims. To search and apply for your unclaimed money, visit www.sro.vic.gov.au/unclaimed-money.
