Attorney General Todd Rokita continues successful partnership with the longest running TV horror host in the world, Sammy Terry, to treat Hoosiers with more than funnel cakes during this year's Indiana State Fair.  

"Visiting the State Fair and watching Sammy Terry are family traditions for so many Hoosiers," Attorney General Todd Rokita said. "That's why I'm proud to continue our successful partnership with Sammy Terry to reunite Hoosiers with their hard-earned unclaimed funds."   

Fairgoers can meet Sammy Terry at the Attorney General's booth on Saturday, August 17th from 1:00pm ET - 6:00pm ET in the Mercantile Building. 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 only thing more horribly fun than bringing family friendly horror movies to Hoosiers each week is helping Indiana Unclaimed return millions of dollars to my Horror-able fellow Hoosiers," said Sammy Terry.

AG Rokita's team reunited one Hoosier family with $160,000 at the State Fair last year. The Attorney General's Office has returned over $48,000,000 so far this year and much more is just waiting to be claimed. Don't miss your chance to claim what is rightfully yours!

Representatives from the Attorney General's Office will be at the Indiana State Fair every day from 9:00am ET - 8:00pm ET. The State Fair runs through Sunday, August 18th and is closed on Mondays.

Recovering your unclaimed property is safe, secure and simple. Attorney General Rokita recommends Hoosiers text "SAMMY" to "46220" or 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     
  • DMV payments
