TikTok user Avery (@averybrynn1) suggests checking if the government owes you money to fuel summer vacations as winter approaches. Avery, who has made viral videos on casino trickery and Chipotle hacks, alleges that state treasury websites disclose unclaimed money. The state treasury’s website lets people verify if they’re entitled money from tax refunds or class action lawsuits, she says. Avery said the government will give you a cheque if your name is on the list.

Hidden Money: TikTok User Reveals Surprising Source for Unclaimed Funds
In a video with over 4.9 million views, Avery joyfully reveals that many individuals may be entitled to large amounts. Though she wasn’t promised any money, she advises people to take advantage of this “literally free money.” This hidden money may fund a “Europe girl summer” or a trip to Cabo or Greece, she offers.
This intriguing discovery has TikTok users exploring the possibilities, with some reporting success. The video comments contain stories of people finding thousands of dollars owing. Unclaimed.org, the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators’ website, requires users to enter their state and name to check for unclaimed funds.
Despite the euphoria, other people have posted amusing stories of finding $0.03 or $2.45, mocking the idea of buying a nice vacation with such amounts. One reviewer warned of a several-month claim processing delay.
