Treasurer Fitzpatrick Reminds Missourians to Enter $100,000 MO Money Sweepstakes
Jefferson City, MO — Missouri State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick is
reminding Missourians to enter the MO Money Sweepstakes before June 4. The
sweepstakes will give away $100,000 in MOST 529 contributions, with the first
drawing this Friday, May 15, and the final drawing June 4. 50 scholarships will be awarded—25
$529 scholarships, 10 $1,000 scholarships, and 15 $5,029 scholarships. This is
the largest sweepstakes in the program’s 20 year history. “Saving for education is important
and I hope Missourians will take a few minutes to enter this sweepstakes,”
Treasurer Fitzpatrick said. “We launched this during America Saves Week to
encourage Missourians to think about the cost of education. Obviously, a lot
has changed in the past two and a half months, but the importance of education planning
has not changed.” Missourians can enter online at mostsweeps.com. MOST, Missouri’s 529 Education
Plan, is a tax-advantaged savings plan for education expenses. Money in MOST
accounts can be used to pay for K-12 tuition and trade, college, and graduate
school tuition and expenses. Contributions are eligible for state tax
deductions, which can save families up to $864 a year, and assets in MOST 529
accounts grow tax free. No purchase is necessary.
Participants must be at least 18 years and a Missouri resident to enter and win
the sweepstakes. ### Follow the Treasurer’s Office on Twitter,
