(Beavercreek, OH, June, 2024) – Wright-Patt Credit Union, Inc (WPCU ) members have won nearly $12,000 in local and national cash prizes since April 1st by opening a Save to Win account, a prize-linked savings account that helps consumers save money while earning chances to win cash prizes up to $10,000. All new members subject to eligibility requirments. For official rules and eligibility requirements, visit WPCU.coop/SaveToWin.
By opening a Save to Win account, rather than earning dividends, for every $25 a member saves earns them an entry into monthly, quarterly and annual drawings for a chance to win cash prizes. Members can win up to $10,000 from the Wright-Patt Credit Union member-only pool and are also eligible for national prizes. Odds of winning are based on number of eligible entries received.

“It changed my whole mood that day,” commented Rachel C. of Urbana, the winner of April’s $1,000 prize. “I thought ‘I’ve got to tell my mom, I’ve got to tell my aunt’ – I told everyone… I calculated it, and it equals 11 years of interest. Between interest on my money market account and this, Wright-Patt [Credit Union] has really helped my savings grow!”
WPCU is currently the only credit union in Ohio to offer a Save to Win account. Since launching in April 2024, 300 Wright-Patt Credit Union members have won cash prizes. The next prize drawing in July will be for cash prizes up to $5,000.
“Americans are saving less. A 2024 report from Bankrate showed that more than half of Americans can’t cover a $1,000 emergency expense. We want to ensure that Wright-Patt Credit Union members have a way to not only reach their savings goals, but also enjoy the thrill of potentially winning some extra cash,” said Tim Mislansky, President and CEO at Wright-Patt Credit Union. “This is one more way we’re helping our members build their savings and improve their Financial Flexibility and Freedom ® journey.”
As of April 1, 2024, members of Wright-Patt Credit Union can open a Save to Win account if the eligibility requirements are met. Members can open a Save to Win account online, by scheduling an appointment at a Member Center or by calling the WPCU Member Help Center at (800) 762-0047.
