HOLIDAY MONEY HUNT

It’s time for Florida's Holiday Money Hunt! News4JAX is officially launching the yearly campaign with Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis to help you put extra cash in your pocket -- at a time when all of us could really use the extra money.

If you haven’t checked your name yet in the Holiday Money Hunt, you could be missing out on cash that could be in your pocket in two weeks or less.

If you want some money – no strings attached – then you’re in luck.

News4Jax teamed up with the Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis’ office to find people that money. Twenty-four hours after the Holiday Money Hunt began, 3,441 people in Jacksonville had claimed $610,587.92. In News4Jax’s original story on the Holiday Money Hunt, we broke down how much money was available in more than 100 ZIP codes across Northeast Florida. The message says “Notification of Required Maintenace.” The CFO’s office says the website performs routine maintenance at different times of the day. Finally, if you don’t find any money for yourself, make sure to check for friends, family and neighbors.
