kearney helped design an experiment to find out. >> the results were quite striking.t we're able to say at the end of the day is that for a given amount of interest payment a credit union can actually entice a lot more deposits, and more savings, if they structure the interest to have some lottery or prize link component to it. the results were consistent with what's been seen in michigan where the average amount saved with "save to win" has grown dramatically since being launched in 2009. >> reporter: so why hadn't prized linked savings swept across the us? turns out, the biggest obstacle to expanding these types of savings accounts was federal law. unlike state-regulated credit unions, banks, which are federally-chartered institutions, could not participate in lotteries. but that changed last fall, when a bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by derek kilmer, who is now a u.s. representative, passed congress. the legislation, called the american savings promotion act, was signed by president obama in december and announced in a white house press release. advocates are hopef

chance of getting to a higher level if you had a college education, but he also could talk about janis kearney and her family in arkansas who had 17 or 18 kids all of which went on to be a -- enormously productive members of society, all who went to college, all who contributed in some anyways, and use that over and over again as his example of why what we were doing was so important. the question you asked me about the shutdown -- i think the most important thing in my opinion that came out of the shutdown is that the congress saw that this president had a backbone, that if you challenged him, he would stand up. you could not push him. he would not cave. he would stand on his principles, and not only did we survive the shutdown, but i think he came away with a great victory. it made all the things we did afterwards, so much easier. >> i want to pick up on something you just mentioned about the president, erskine. for every program he talked about, there was someone in arkansas he could directly .2, -- directly point to, but it makes me wonder, how much of the president's upbringing informed h
