State Treasurer Ken Miller announced the kickoff of the Oklahoma 529 College Savings Plan’s inaugural Pigskin Piggybank Sweepstakes, which will see one Oklahoma family win $5,529 for college, plus $5,529 for their student’s school.

“We want Oklahoma families to huddle up and make a game plan to pay for college,” said Miller. “Some families might be tempted to punt these important decisions into the future, but starting to save early can move families closer to their savings goal.”

Miller is board chair of the Oklahoma 529 College Savings Plan (OCSP).

One randomly chosen family will receive a $5,529 OCSP account on behalf of their child.  OCSP will also make a $5,529 donation to the winning student’s school.

The sweepstakes is open to Oklahoma residents who are parents, grandparents or legal guardians who are at least 21 years old and have a child or grandchild who is also an Oklahoma resident.

Sweepstakes entry, official rules and additional information are available at www.ok4saving.org/Pigskin. The random winner will be announced on October 31. No purchase required. Void where prohibited. OCSP serves almost 30,000 account owners with more than $850 million in college savings assets. OCSP account owners make an average monthly contribution of $269 to their accounts.
