How does the car draw work?
The monthly car draw which started in October 2008 is self-financing, so the more members who sign up, the bigger the prizes will be! Members must be over 18 to participate and once enrolled, €13 will be debited from your account every quarter for the draw. Once your subscription is paid each quarter, you will be entered to ever monthly draw, until you decide otherwise (*T’s & C’s apply – see car draw rules as set out below).
The draw is fully self-financing and no Credit Union funds are used for prizes. Directors, Board Oversight Committee and Employees of Credit Union Plus are eligible to enter the draw just like any other member.
Employees that perform administrative duties for the monthly draw will not be eligible to enter the draw for the duration that they perform this function.
When and how does the draw take place?
The car draw is pre-recorded and the results are published on the first Saturday of every month. Each member of the draw is assigned a unique car draw number prior to the draw. The Car draw administrators select numbered balls from each compartment of our raffle drum and those numbered balls make up the car draw number which is then referenced to the members that are the lucky winners!
