First County Bank announced that Ricardo Pasache of Darien is the recipient of $1,000 as the latest winner of the bank’s FirstPrize $avings account drawing. Aitza Cabrera, the Darien branch manager, said, “When I contacted Mr. Pasache to tell him he won, he couldn’t believe it, adding that the timing was perfect as he’d like to help his family back in Peru,” said Cabrera.
The FirstPrize $avings account is designed to encourage personal savings while offering participants a chance to win a $1,000 prize. Each eligible deposit of $25 or more earns the account holder an entry into the quarterly drawing. The drawing takes place four times a year, with one winner selected per quarter.
The $1,000 prize is deposited directly into the winner’s FirstPrize $avings account, making the money available immediately. The FirstPrize $avings account is one of many personal banking accounts that can be opened online.
