Treasurer Smith Announces Muscatine County Winner in Statewide ISave 529 Summer Giveaway

DES MOINES, IA (09/18/2026) (readMedia)-- State Treasurer Roby Smith is celebrating Chloe G. as the Muscatine County winner of a $529 contribution to an ISave 529 account through the statewide summer giveaway. With another giveaway now underway, Treasurer Smith is encouraging families to enter for their own chance to jump-start their education savings.

"This summer, we set out to give a child in every one of Iowa's 99 counties a boost toward their future," said Smith. "I'm excited to congratulate Chloe and their family on representing Muscatine County. Whether these funds are someday used for college, an apprenticeship or another eligible education expense, that $529 will be useful for Chloe's future."

The summer giveaway awarded a $529 ISave 529 contribution to one child in each of Iowa's 99 counties. An additional statewide winner received a $1,000 contribution.

"Thank you so much for the opportunity to win funds toward a 529 account! We are absolutely thrilled to be drawn as the winner for Muscatine County! This is such an exciting surprise and gives Chloe an amazing head start on her future. We are so grateful to Treasurer Roby Smith and the ISave 529 program for doing this giveaway for Iowa families," said Taran Greenfield, who entered Chloe in the summer giveaway.

The summer giveaway may be over, but Iowans have another opportunity to win. In celebration of College Savings Month, State Treasurer Smith is giving away one $1,000 ISave 529 contribution in September.

"Seeing families like Chloe's get excited about saving is exactly why we keep these giveaways going," Smith said. "If you entered this summer and didn't win, enter again. If you've never thought about saving for education before, now is a great time to start. Another $1,000 is up for grabs, and it could be going toward a child in Muscatine County."
