"I didn't believe it, and then I cried," said Loberg of hearing the news. "[Desert Financial] is a great bank. Everyone [at my branch] is so friendly; Jose is great, Diamnd is wonderful. Everyone is great."



Desert Financial launched the sweepstakes in March as a way to celebrate the credit union's 80th anniversary.

"In 1939, 15 courageous teachers pooled all of their money together to start a credit union," said Cathy Graham, SVP, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer, Desert Financial. "They didn't have millions. Or even thousands. With just $78.75, they founded a financial institution that would grow to become the Valley's largest credit union. As Desert Financial celebrates our milestone 80th year, we're sharing our success by helping others reach milestones of their own."


Said Lamb of her prize-winning moment, "I am so excited I can't describe how I feel. Totally amazing; out of all the thousands of people who have an account and you pick me."

Desert Financial has sweepstakes and Random Acts of Kindness planned throughout its 80th Anniversary year. For more information, visit www.desertfinancial.com.
