A Prize-Linked Savings Program
Saver’s Sweepstakes® is a prize-linked savings account offered by Wisconsin credit unions that lets consumers earn entries into drawings for cash prizes by making deposits into qualified savings accounts. It’s that simple.
For each $25 that you grow your monthly balance, you’ll earn one entry. That’s one entry into the monthly drawing, one entry into the quarterly drawing and one entry into the annual drawing! Multiple winners are drawn each month. The best part is there’s no risk of losing your savings! Win-win!
Saver’s Honored with Governor’s Financial Literacy Award
In early 2023, Saver’s Sweepstakes was honored as a recipient of the 2022 Governor’s Financial Literacy Awards, which recognizes individuals and organizations for their excellence in increasing financial literacy, capability, and inclusion among Wisconsin citizens.
