“This is the greatest news to share,” State Treasurer Kurt Schuller said in a press release.  “It is always nice to hand over a check to its rightful owner or heir, but 91 in a day totaling more than half a million dollars is downright delightful!"

The two largest checks are going to two Wisconsin business owners for $15,000 and $111,000 the release said.
