CHARLESTON, W.V. (WSAZ) – 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.
