This is the third year News4JAX has teamed up with Patronis’ office for the Holiday Money Hunt to get the word out about all the unclaimed cash and property that’s just sitting there. Since Patronis took office, more than $1.8 billion has been returned to the rightful owners.
From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, we opened our phone lines, and members of Patronis’ staff were with us to take calls and check to see if people -- or their businesses -- have money waiting to be claimed.
As of 6:45 p.m., $67,323 had been claimed from the phone bank and online combined.
