Saver’s SweepstakesⓇ questions, answered.
What’s Saver’s Sweepstakes?
Saver’s Sweepstakes is a statewide prize-linked savings program that can help you save money while giving you a chance to win cash prizes in monthly, quarterly, and annual drawings. The money you deposit stays in your account and remains yours, whether you win or not.
How do Saver’s Sweepstakes accounts work?
To earn entries, your balance needs to grow by at least $25 from one month to the next. You’ll automatically receive one entry for every $25, up to six entries per month. You can withdraw money at any time without a fee, and there’s no limit on how much you can deposit. You need to live in Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Illinois to open and maintain an account. For all the details, take a look at the official rules or contact us if you have questions.
How are winners notified?
If you win, one of our Linden team members will be in touch! Prize winners are contacted by phone or email immediately following prize drawings.
Where does the prize money come from?
Many credit unions, including Linden, contribute to a statewide Saver’s Sweepstakes pool each year. The prize money comes directly from this local pool.
Wherever you’re starting, we’ll start there with you.
