It’s summer in Cleveland — the grills are fired up, the festivals are in full swing, and, if you’re lucky, you’ve carved out a little time to catch your breath. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee, dodging emails, or just trying to make it to the weekend, our weekly news quiz is the perfect excuse to hit pause and test your local news knowledge.

And this week, there’s real money on the line — sort of.

Ohio’s Division of Unclaimed Funds is holding on to money that belongs to people like you. If you don’t claim it, the state might use it to help build a new Browns stadium. Yep, it’s like a surprise inheritance, only with a deadline. Our quiz kicks off with what you need to know — and how to check if your name is on the list.

From courtroom drama to voter deadlines to missed chances with federal funding, this week’s questions will have you thinking, “Did I read that right?” (Spoiler: You probably did — but now’s your chance to prove it.) Whether you’ve been glued to the headlines or just catching bits and pieces, there’s something here to jog your memory and spark your curiosity.

You’ve already read the news — now’s your chance to play with it.

Congrats to quiz takers SheilaMarie T., Russell L., Joshua F., Chris E., Kaushik S., Benjamin D., Larry H., Biz H. and Keith G.for scoring 100% on the last quiz.
