Official Prize Savings Entry Rules
- NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.
- HOW TO ENTER:Neighborhood Credit Union’s “Prize Savings Account” Prize-based Savings Sweepstakes Account begins July 1, 2007 and will continue on an ongoing basis. (“Prize-based Savings Account Sweepstakes Period”).
- TO ENTER AUTOMATICALLY:A Neighborhood Credit Union member automatically receives Prize-based Savings Account Sweepstakes entries based on the following:
- One (1) entry for every $5 in monthly average daily balance in your Prize Savings Account at each month-end for monthly cash prizes.
- One (1) entry annually for every $5 in monthly average daily balance in your Prize Savings Account at the end of the calendar year for an annual Grand Prize to be presented in February.
- Automatic entries will be recorded by Neighborhood Credit Union once the average balance is calculated during month-end processing. Qualifying deposits/balances must be received and posted by Neighborhood Credit Union by midnight Central Standard Time on the day of each month-end. Automatic entries are only eligible to win during the drawing period covered.
- TO ENTER WITHOUT MAKING A DEPOSIT INTO A PRIZE-BASED SAVINGS ACCOUNT:For Neighborhood Credit Union members who are not enrolled in the Prize-based Savings Account, once a month, you can print your name, address, city, state, zip code and day and evening telephone numbers on a 3 x 5 card, along with the words, “Neighborhood Credit Union Prize-based Savings Account Prize Entry” and mail it to: Neighborhood Credit Union, Attn: Marketing, 13649 Montfort Drive, Dallas, TX 75240. Each handwritten entry will be deemed received by Neighborhood Credit Union when it is time and date stamped by Neighborhood Credit Union personnel. Only one entry per month per member will be accepted. Multiple entries are void, and if a handwritten entry is declared a monthly winner, but the judges are unable to determine the winner due to illegible writing, that entry will be disqualified. Each handwritten entry will receive one chance to win within each drawing period. All handwritten entries must be received by 5:00 pm Central Standard Time on the last business day of each month. Each member who enters by submitting a handwritten entry will automatically be entered once into the monthly drawing for the month in which they submitted an entry and once in the annual drawing if a handwritten entry is submitted anytime during the year, provided the entrant is still a Neighborhood Credit Union member in good standing at the time of the drawing.
- All entries (whether automatic or handwritten) become property of Neighborhood Credit Union and will not be returned. Making a deposit via a Prize-based Savings Account will not improve an individual entry’s chances of winning over the 3 x 5 card entry.

- PRIZE-BASED SAVINGS ACCOUNT SWEEPSTAKES DRAWINGS:There will be twelve (12) monthly drawing periods per calendar year: The first day of the month through the last day of the month is considered the monthly qualifying period.

After each monthly drawing all entries will be disposed of for purposes of the following monthly drawing, and entry qualifications will be based on the Prize-based Savings Account’s current standing. Non-winning entries received during each drawing period will not be eligible for any subsequent Prize-based Savings Account Sweepstakes Drawings. In each drawing, the winner(s) will be randomly selected from eligible entries. All drawings shall be conducted by the independent auditing firm of Credit Union Resources, Inc. to ensure fairness and compliance with all applicable rules and regulations.
