Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is partnering with the longest running TV horror host in the world, Sammy Terry, to treat Hoosiers with more than fair food during this year’s Indiana State Fair.

“It’s a tradition for many Hoosier families to visit the State Fair, and we invite them to stop by our booth and introduce themselves,” AG Rokita said. “That’s why I’m proud to have Indiana icons like Sammy Terry reminding Hoosiers that our booth offers a chance to interact with our team and learn about the services our office provides, including the opportunity to search for unclaimed property.”
Team members will be available to assist Hoosiers with unclaimed property searches. Staff will also have information and tips to help consumers protect themselves from identity theft and other scams.
The Indiana State Fair runs until Sunday, Aug. 20 and is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
AG Rokita’s booth is located in the Agriculture and Horticulture Building and will be staffed from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.
The Attorney General’s Office is on pace to have a record-setting year in 2023 with $47.5 million returned to Hoosiers in the first six months. One lucky Hoosier found $14,000 last year at the fair. With more than a million dollars being returned every week, you could be next.
Recovering your unclaimed property is safe, secure and simple. Hoosiers should visit IndianaUnclaimed.gov and check for these types of property that might go unclaimed:
- Unclaimed wages or commissions
- Money orders
- Safety deposit box contents
- Savings and checking accounts
- Refunds
- Overpayments such as credit card balances, cell phone bills, and DMV payments
AG Rokita’s office works tirelessly to locate the rightful owners or heirs of unclaimed property. Thank you to Sammy Terry for helping in those efforts this year. Don’t miss out on meeting the man, the myth, the legend, Sammy Terry, at the booth from 1 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12.
“Deep fat-fried lady fingers don’t scare me, but I am frightened by the thought of missing money,” Sammy Terry said. “Don’t be afraid to stop by Attorney General Rokita’s booth at the fair and see if you have any unclaimed property rising from the dead. Who knows? Maybe we can deep fat-fry George on a stick.”
Over $800 million remains to be claimed, so it’s time to find what you may be missing at IndianaUnclaimed.gov or text SAMMY to 46220 to search your name, family, or business.
You can also contact the Unclaimed Property Division at 1-866-462-5246 or updmail@atg.in.gov. You may also like and/or follow the Unclaimed Property Division on Facebook. Make sure you keep an eye out for Sammy Terry’s reminders. Even he knows it’s ghoulishly fun to search for unclaimed property.
