You might be rich
You might be rich! Here's how to find out from www.msnbc.msn.com
Search state databases, listed below, for unclaimed money owed to you.
Search state databases, listed below, for unclaimed money owed to you.
In a rough economic time like this one, who couldn't use some extra cash?
There's billions of dollars of unclaimed cash out there.
Welcome to the wonderful little secret called unclaimed property: It could be an old paycheck, stock note, or inheritance that’s owed to you. When no one claims these valuables, they’re eventually turned over to a state— where they may languish for years. On “Dateline,” we showed people who were happy to discover they had forgotten treasure.
Most states don’t have the staff come out and find you. But if it’s there, you can find it on your own.

All you have to do is use the links above, or log onto unclaimed.org(not unclaimed.com). Just pick a state you or any member of your family has ever worked in or played in, type in the name, and within seconds you can find out if this is your lucky day. It is all absolutely free, and you should exercise caution in accepting any offers from paid finders. (Also note that unclaimed.org seems to be experiencing some technical difficulties, so you may have to check back at a later time.)
You can also use this link to be directed to the unclaimed property Web sites of 32 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
And don’t say “it could never happen to me.” Some states have billions of dollars to give away. Some people never dreamed there was money just waiting for them... that is, until the day “Dateline” came knocking on their doors.
And while finding the money is easy, some warnings:
Never pay anyone to get your own money back.
There are companies that will call or send you a letter stating they've found money for you-- but they'll want to take a cut of your money... as much as 30 or 40 percent and there is absolutely no need for it.
Every state has a free online database where you can check your name.
You Might Be Rich: A Local Man's Story
A local man is featured on national television after the network tracks him down to tell him he's inherited a lot of money!
Sound like a dream come true?
For 55-year-old Madison resident Nick, who lives alone and suffers from Parkinson's disease, NBC's phone call was too good to be true!
"We call our series 'You Might Be Rich,' and what we do is we find people who don't know they have money coming to them and return it," explains Dateline NBC producer Rob Buchanan, "It's a big surprise!"
"What makes Nick's case really interesting is that it's a big dollar amount and it's been sitting with the state for a bunch of years," he adds.
But every time Buchanan called Nick, Nick hung up on him.
He was skeptical.
So Dateline enlisted my help.
After numerous phone calls and visits, Nick agreed to the Dateline interview, and crews flew to Madison to film the big reveal.
"It's not an uncommon reaction for someone to be a little skeptical," says reporter Matt Bean as he meets Nick for the first time, "But I hope with all the lights, the cameras, Leigh is here, have we been able to convince you that we're legit?"
Nick responds, "Yes, you are very legit. You're lucky you had Leigh!"
Bean continues, "We've got a little surprise for you Nick!"
Nick quickly responds with a smile, "I think I'm getting spoiled here!"
Then a group of singers walks into the room.
Bean says, "Nick you're probably wondering what all these people are doing here, why we're making such a fuss right now."
Nick has had a hard life. He lost him mother in 1997 and was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2005. But today, he had something to celebrate!
"Well, Nick, your mom left something behind for you that I think is really going to change your life!" Bean continues, "But before I tell you exactly what that is, do you have any idea what it could be? What your mom left behind for you?"
Nick responds with a mischievous smile, "A new hairline?"
The room erupts in laughter.
No, it wasn't a new hairline!
But, you'll have to watch Dateline this Sunday at 6 p.m. to find out how much money Nick's mom left for him.
It's not our decision -- so please don't email us!
NBC won't let us say what he got until their broadcast on Sunday.
So make sure to watch Dateline this Sunday night at six!

There are more than one million names in Wisconsin's database worth more than 352 million dollars!

Christy Yamanaka -- Stripper ends judge's career
Judge protip: don't be friends with strippers. If you're a judge, it's probably for the best to not hang around with strippers. Just ask Thomas E. Stringer, a Florida judge who's losing it all due to accusations of improper conduct between himself and Christy Yamanaka, an exotic dancer. From an AP report: Thomas E. Stringer spent more than three decades quietly building his legal career in Florida, working his way up from an assistant state attorney to appeals court judge in...

Looks like John Mayer is done pining Jennifer Aniston.
According to Star Magazine, the douchebag has moved on to a newer, younger and possibly made-up piece of tail - aspiring actress Scheana Marie Jancan!

Scheana Marie Jancan, who turns 24 in May, was serving drinks at The Grand Havana Room when John Mayer started charming her and chatting her up.
It apparently didn't take long for JM to work it.

China Targets Google, Baidu Over Porn
The Chinese Government has warned Google, Baidu and other popular sites in China that they must do more to block porn.
Porn is banned in China but remains widely available.
The Chinese Government said in a statement that the sites had failed to take efficient measures in removing porn from its pages. The censorship of porn is meant to “purify the Internet’s cultural environment and protect the healthy development of minors.”
A Google China spokesperson quoted in an AP article said that Google does not have any pornographic content in Google China and “if we find any violation, we will take action. So far, I haven’t seen any examples of violations.”
Other sites targeted include Sina and Sohu.
