*Additional Information:

  • First withdrawal = $10
  • Second withdrawal = $25
  • Third withdrawal = account closure is required (no penalty); all entries forfeited.
  • $5 minimum opening deposit

A third withdrawal per 12-month period requires account closure, without penalty. An account can be closed at any time. If an account is closed, the member is ineligible to open another WSA account for a period of 90 days and all entries earned to that point are also forfeited upon closure. Any funds in the account at closure will be transferred to your Regular membership savings.

Account Payout

After a member has reached their 12-month anniversary date (13th month) from account opening, the member is permitted to make one penalty-free withdrawal from the account during the anniversary month. For example, if someone opens an account October 24, 2017, they have all of October 2018 to exercise their onetime penalty-free withdrawal.

After 12 consecutive months of savings, the account will automatically roll-over to a new savings period. As a reward for saving, the balance will also re-set to zero at the beginning of the new program savings period. The member will earn entries in the new month based on the current new balance. For example, if someone has a $100 balance in their WSA account at the end of their 12 month anniversary and they choose to continue to save funds in their WSA account, they will have already earned their 4 qualifying entries for the upcoming months drawing.

Qualifying Requirements
  • Credit Union member in good standing.
  • Limited to 1 member account per person (or joint membership account, with primary account holder receiving entry)

  • Business and trust accounts, or other non-member accounts, are not eligible.
  • Account must be open and active to win during drawing period.
  • An account holder is only eligible to win once per drawing pool; for example, an account holder, regardless of the number of entries, may only win 1 monthly state-wide drawing per month, and 1 quarterly state-wide drawing per quarter.
