How do withdrawals affect drawing entries?
When any withdrawal is made, the primary account holder forfeits Saver’s Sweepstakes prize drawing entries for that prize pool to the extent that the account balance decreases month-over-month. For example, if a member deposits $25 in a month, but then withdraws $5, the balance won’t increase enough to earn a drawing entry.
How often can someone win?
Once per drawing. For example, even though each statewide monthly drawing has multiple winners, one person cannot win two prizes in a single monthly statewide drawing.
Who is eligible to open Saver's Sweepstakes accounts?
- The primary account holder must be a credit union member with a membership share account.
- A minor may be a joint account holder if the primary account holder is eighteen (18) years old or older; or a minor may be the sole or primary account holder with a parent or legal guardian’s written permission; or a Saver’s Sweepstakes account for a minor may be held as a custodial account. Participating credit unions can establish their own policies on whether, and under what conditions, they will allow minors to hold accounts.
- The primary account holder must be a resident of Wisconsin, Minnesota or Illinois at the time of account opening, and continue to be a resident of those states. If he/she moves out of those states, becoming ineligible to participate in Saver’s Sweepstakes, the credit union must close the account.
- Only an individual can hold a Saver’s Sweepstakes account.
Who wins the prize if the Saver's Sweepstakes account is jointly owned?
Only the primary account holder is entered into prize drawings and is eligible to win a prize– regardless which account holder(s) made the deposits that earned entries into Saver’s Sweepstakes drawings.
