NCNB will sponsor $100,000 sweepstakes I
North Carolina National Bank will
sponsor a $100,000 sweepstakes
during the month of January ?
believed to be the first such
promotion by a bank in the U.S.
The "NCNB New Banking
Sweepstakes" will run throughout
the month of January, with the
winners announced in Mid-February,
according to A. Donald Ross III,
NCNB vice president and director of
advertising and sales promotion.
"January will be a benchmark in
the history of our bank's services,"
said Ross. "We'll be offereing two
new money market accounts,
discount stock brokerage services
and encouraging people to take
advantage of Individual Retirement
Accounts.
"By sponsoring a sweepstakes,
we'll be using a promotional cam
paign just as innovative as the ser
vices we're offering," he said.
Under the terms of the sweep
stakes, NCNB customers will receive
an entry in the sweepstakes each
time they open an NCNB Money
Investment Account, NCNB Money
Market Checking Account, discount
stock brokerage account, or for
opening or depositing to an In
dividual Retirement Account.
An individual customer could
receive up to four separate sweep
stakes entries.
In addition, sweepstakes
regulations provide that anyone can
enter the sweepstakes, whether they
sign-up for bank services or not.
Sweepstakes entries can be made
through offices of NCNB and through
offices of Bank of North Carolina,
which were recently merged with
NCNB, ' such as their local bank
located in Harris Shopping Center.
The grand price will be $25,000 in
cash. Other priies include five
second place priies of $10,000 each
and 25 third place prizes of $1,000
each.
"To the best of our knowledge, it's
unprecendented for a bank to sponsor
a sweepstakes of this kind," Ross
said. "From our research, we
couldn't find another bank that has
sponsored a promotion similar to this
one."
The sweepstakes will be supported
by television and newspaper ad
vertising and by direct mail. The
first ads appeared on Monday,
January 3.
Recent legislative changes allow
NCNB to offer new forms of money
market accounts, the NCNB Money
Market Investment Account and the
NCNB Money Market Checking
Account, both of which provide high
yields along with ready funds access.

Financial aid still available for students
Some of the best things in life may
be free. But for college or training
after high school, students will need
money.
According to James S. Midgette,
Counselor at Perquimans High
School, in spite of Reaganomic cut
backs there's still help in the form of
financial aid - from the federal and
state governments, from colleges,
and from a wide variety of special
programs.
The good news is that there's more
than $16 billion available to help
students at!eid college during the
academic year 1983-84.
The bad news is that it's still not
enough to meet fully the need of all
the students who could use some
help; and the funds could get even
higher next year.
The really important news is that
students can improve their chances
of getting the financial aid they need
to attend the colleges they like by
