There are three methods to participate in the contest, as follows:
1. Minimum Deposit in PC Money™ Account Savings Feature: For each Monthly Draw a Participant will earn one (1) Entry for every $500 increase to the balance of their PC Money™ Account Savings Feature. Increases in the balance of a Participant’s PC Money™ Account Savings Feature will be measured by taking the daily closing balance of the Participant’s PC Money™ Account Savings Feature on the last day of the Participation Period for the respective Monthly Draw and subtracting the starting balance of the Savings Feature.
For existing customers, the starting balance is the daily closing balance of their PC Money™ Account Savings Feature immediately prior to the start of the Contest Period (i.e., July 2, 2025). For new customers who open a new PC Money™ Account Savings Feature during the Contest Period, the starting balance for the PC Money™ Account Savings Feature will be considered $0 for calculation of Entries. Deposits can be made anytime during the Contest Period, but deposits made outside the Contest Period are not eligible to earn Entries. Only increments of $500 and multiples deposited in a PC Money™ Account Savings Feature are eligible for Entries; amounts less than $500 will not be rounded up, and no partial Entries will be given.
