- HOW TO ENTER: There are two methods of entry.
Method #1: To receive an entry, the parent or legal guardian of a child between the ages of 6 and 14 years old at the date of entry must complete one of the following two options:
- Open a new GIC account (One (1) year or greater) with a minimum deposit of $100 in their child’s name.
- Open a new Gold or Diamond EVA chequing account in the parent’s name with a minimum deposit of $250.
The eligible Chequing Account must remain open and in good standing for 90 days from the time of opening. If the chequing account is closed within 90 days of opening or the balance is reduced below $250, the parent or legal guardian will be prohibited from entering WFCU Credit Union contests for 3 years.
Once Option 1 or Option 2 are completed, the child (“Participant”) will be automatically entered into the draw.
Limit of one (1) entry per Participant throughout the Sweepstakes Entry Period regardless of method of entry. Additional entries received from the same Participant in excess of the stated limitation will be void. All entries become the exclusive property of WFCU and will not be acknowledged or returned. The use of script, macro or automated devices (or any other devices intended to automate or subvert any aspect of entry) to enter the Sweepstakes is prohibited, and any entry through such means and any entry that is deemed to be ineligible (at WFCU’s sole discretion) and in accordance with these Official Rules are void. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an Entrant based on the email address submitted, the entry will be deemed to be submitted by the person named on the applicable entry (regardless of whether that is the name of the authorized account holder of the email address from which said entry form was submitted), provided such individual is eligible according to these Official Rules.
Method #2: To enter the Sweepstakes without opening a new GIC account or a Gold or Diamond EVA chequing account, an Entrant may submit a mail-in entry. To enter via this method, handwrite your first and last name, Participant(s) first and last name and date of birth, street address, phone number and email address, along with a handwritten 50-word or longer essay about your favourite Detroit Lions Player on a postcard and mail your entry to: WFCU Credit Union, Kick-Off Kid Sweepstakes, c/o Marketing Department, 3000 Marentette Avenue, Windsor, Ontario, N8X 4G2.
