The Lucky Duck Rule

You know we would have to put this on the bottom so everyone would read the all the rules.

Here is how this works. Before the race starts 1lucky duck number will be preselected by Odds On Promotions.  If the1 lucky duck number comes in anywhere from 1st place thru 10th place the winner will receive $100,000 from Odds On PromotionsNOT the Rotary Club of Shorewood its members, officers friends , family or any person who is part of Rotary International, looks funny or is someone other than a person from Odds OnPromotions.  If the winner does receive the $100,000Mega Prize they WILL NOT receive the $2500 1st prize,or the 2nd prize, or the 3rd prize and so on. "RCoS" thinks the $100,000 prize should be enough of a prize for the winner.  The "RCoS" does not have any input on the 1 lucky duck number or how the prize is awarded. Odds On Promotions will be contacted after the race to  see if we have a winner.  Thank You & Good Luck.
