The $251 million E Federal Credit Union awarded two eight-year-old boys with $1 million, allowing them to keep one day's interest, or roughly $42.

The boys were also given a five-year, $500 certificate of deposit for winning the credit union's Millionaire for a Day contest.

Eli Coleman and Andrew Carter won the prizes for writing the best essay and drawing the best picture, respectively, around the theme, "What would I do with a million dollars?"
The boys also got a tour of a credit union branch and lunch with a local millionaire business owner.
