Money Sweepstakes Jefferson City, MO — Missouri State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick
today announced the launch of the MO Money Sweepstakes which will give away
$100,000 in MOST 529 contributions over the next 100 days. 50 scholarships will

scholarships. This is the largest sweepstakes in the program’s 20 year history.
“I am launching this sweepstakes
during America Saves Week because saving for education is important—especially
as the price of higher education continues to rise,” Treasurer Fitzpatrick
said. “MOST, Missouri’s 529 Education Plan is a valuable tool for Missourians
saving for education. I hope Missourians will enter this sweepstakes and
consider saving for education using a MOST 529 account.” The sweepstakes will run today through
June 4. 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,
