Launched at Crane on April 1st, this prize-linked savings account gives Hoosier savers the chance to win monthly and quarterly
prizes from two different prize pools. The state-level prize pool will feature monthly and quarterly prizes ranging from $50 to $1,000 and a national prize pool will offer quarterly prizes from $25 to $5,000. The combined prize pool is more than $140,000 in 2016. Credit union members just need to save their money to qualify. Savers earn entries for every $25 they save in a given month, with a maximum of ten entries per month.
Crane distributed its third round of prizes to winners from the credit union this past week. The Credit Union distributed $1,600 in prizes with members winning from $25 to over $500 in individual cash prizes. Here is a list of June’s winners.

“Save to Win offers an option for developing good savings habits and improving people’s financial situations. A saver getting the maximum amount of entries will save more than $3,000 at their credit union over a year,” said Indiana Credit Union League President John McKenzie. “As member-owned cooperatives, credit unions are especially focused on member benefits, and this program is all about helping members get ahead.”
Indiana passed prize-linked savings into law in 2014. In 2015, Indiana’s credit unions partnered with the Indiana Credit Union League and Save to Win to begin making plans for the 2016 rollout. The program was first offered in Michigan in 2009 and has continued to grow and flourish in other states. Indiana is just one of nine states whose credit unions are offering Save to Win. Since 2009, Save to Win has helped credit union members save more than $100 million. In addition to savings, more than $1.7 million in prizes have been given away to participating members nationwide.
