Summary
A high school sophomore just won $10,000 for her college fund—thanks to West Virginia’s SMART529 Sweepstakes. Ellie Ryba, one of 4,200 lucky finalists, now has tax-free savings growing for her future education, whether it’s college, trade school, or grad school. Her parents are thrilled, and the State Treasurer says this is just one example of how SMART529 makes saving for college simple, affordable, and smart—with state tax breaks and small monthly contributions adding up over time. It’s a win for Ellie—and a big push for more families to start planning today. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
