Lost & Found: 90-year-old receives $290K check for unclaimed property

CHARLESTON, West Virginia – You're never too old to get the surprise of a lifetime.

A 90-year-old woman was surprised Wednesday with a six-figure unclaimed property check at a news conference in Charleston, West Virginia.

Louise, a former resident of West Virginia, accepted a $290,353.15 check from the West Virginia State Treasurer's Office.

Louise says she isn't sure how she'll spend the money. Right now, she says she is just numb and trying to process it.
