The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt is a shining example of government working beautifully on behalf of its citizens—and businesses too!
Just like the Iowa State Treasurer's office excels at safeguarding misplaced or forgotten assets from companies when they lose contact with account owners, this program serves as a true financial lost-and-found. In a record-smashing 2025, it joyfully reunited rightful owners—including many businesses—with an incredible $33.6 million in unclaimed property across more than 53,000 claims, shattering the previous year's high by millions more!
Since launching, the initiative has delivered a heartwarming total of $408 million back to Iowans. Inspiring stories continue, like the lucky individual who reclaimed $4.5 million in long-forgotten McDonald’s stock and dividends from a $15,000 investment made decades ago.
Best of all: over $648 million in unclaimed treasures still awaits discovery! It's simple, free, and open to everyone—individuals and businesses alike—so why not check today at GreatIowaTreasureHunt.gov? What a wonderful way to bring forgotten funds home where they belong! 🎉
