How do I enter without making a purchase?

No purchase entry criteria are outlined in the Official Contest Rules.

How do I know how many entries I have?

If you're a Servus member, you can calculate how many entries you have earned by adding up the total amount of new savings deposited during the contest period. Divide that by 500, then multiply by five (5) to find the total number of Contest entries.

Total increase in savings (February 1 – April 30, 2024) / 500 x 5 = Total contest entries

What are my odds of winning?

Individual odds of winning are dependent on the total number of contest entries received. You can increase your odds by earning additional entries.

Why have the entry criteria changed from previous years?

Each year we evaluate the contest to ensure it’s achieving the goals of our members and the credit union . In the past, contest entries were also earned on patronage throughout the year. However, patronage earned in 2023 will not count as entries into this year’s Contest. Focusing only on savings growth during the contest period ensures members are focused on increasing their financial fitness, and that new and existing members have similar opportunities to be the one lucky member to win the million-dollar prize. Patronage continues to be rewarded through the Servus Profit Share^® program.

Are the winnings taxed?

The Canada Revenue Agency does not require you to pay tax on the winnings themselves. However, as with any other type of income, you will be subject to tax on any money your winnings generate.

How is the winner chosen?

A random draw will be conducted from all eligible entries received to select one (1) potential winner and up to four alternates. The selected winner must satisfy all conditions of the Official Contest Rules (including becoming a member if you are not already one), including completion of a skill testing question.

When will the winner be announced?

The contest winner will be announced in June 2024.

How will the $1 million prize be paid?

The prize will be paid as a direct deposit into the winner's account, once eligibility and other requirements have been completed according to the Official Contest Rules.
