ST. PAUL, MN (January 21, 2022) — The WINcentive® Savings program recently announced the final prizes awarded through the Minnesota statewide prize pool for 2021, including two grand prizes of $5,000 each, five $1,000 quarterly prizes, and 50 $100 monthly prizes.
Members from Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union and Mid Minnesota Federal Credit Union were the lucky recipients of the annual grand prize drawings. Members from Fulda Area Credit Union, Minnco Credit Union and North Star Credit Union were among the program’s quarterly winners.
Affinity Plus employees of their Fergus Falls branch surprised two siblings, Jordin and Jacob, who each won a prize in the drawing – one of the annual grand prizes and one quarterly prize
Jordin helped Affinity Plus branch staff to surprise her brother with the grand prize check and was beside herself when she found out she also won $1000.
“You don’t understand where we come from, this is life changing,” Jordin told Affinity Plus branch staff.
