Winner’s luck is in the air for members at United Financial Credit Union! A local resident from Auburn, Michigan won big with just one deposit of $25 into her Save to Win certificate of deposit.
Carrie N., a member of United Financial Credit Union for a little over two years, stopped into her local branch for a routine transaction when the teller offered to open a Save to Win CD for her. She was told it would be an opportunity to save a little of her own money, along with each deposit being an entry to win cash each month and quarter. Carrie decided to open the CD and deposited the initial $25 into the account, planning to return each month with another entry.
However, that was all it took. With just one deposit and less than a month of having the CD, her name was drawn for the $1,000 quarterly cash prize!
“I don’t have luck like this, so when I heard I won, I was in shock!”, said Carrie when she arrived to claim her prize.
Not only did she receive the grand cash prize, but United Financial also presented her with a bouquet of flowers, fresh cupcakes, and a gift bag to celebrate her winnings.
United Financial’s Marketing Specialist, Savannah Gilmore, was ecstatic for their winner and hopes to see more members utilizing the product, “Huge congratulations to Carrie! It’s so exciting to see members win by simply saving their own money. Which is why I always encourage members to open a Save to Win CD because you win either way!”
Carrie is in the process of remodeling her home, so when asked what she would like to do with the winnings, she happily announced that she would love to put it towards her new windows. As far as her Save to Win CD goes, she is going to keep depositing and saving money, because it could just make her a winner once again!
