Using Lottery Effect to Make People Save

Using Lottery Effect to Make People Save

Fascinating. Eight banks in Michigan have a savings account with a monthly raffle. Put away $25 and you get a chance to win $400 each month, and a yearly $100,000 drawing. It seems like each person only gets one “ticket” each month they make a minimum deposit, which is a good call since if you got more tickets the more money you invested, rich people would likely win every time.
