Ducky Derby Prizes

Cash Prizes

The number on each ticket sold will be affixed to the bottom of a ducky. When a ducky with your ticket number crosses the finish line first ...you Win the first place cash prize. Second and third place finishes also win cash prizes as follows:

• First Place - $2000
• Second Place - $750
• Third Place - $250

Grand Prize  - Chance to win One Million Dollars

A ticket holder whose ducky crosses the finish line first has a chance to win $1,000,000.

How does this work?  One ticket number for every 3,333 tickets sold will be randomly selected by a third party prize underwriter as a potential million dollar winner. The "million dollar number(s)" will be selected prior to the race and kept in a sealed security envelope.  At the conclusion of the race, a race official will determine whether the ducky that crosses the finish line first is a duck with a million dollar number.   If it is, the holder of the ticket with that number wins the Million Dollar Grand Prize. 

If the first ducky is not one with a million dollar number, the million dollar prize will not be awarded.

If there is a Grand Prize winner, the $1,000,000 is payable in forty (40) equal installments of $25,000 each year beginning in 2012, without any accrued interest.

A Million Dollar Grand Prize winner will not also be awarded the $2000 First Place Prize. In that event the Second Place ducky (number) will be awarded the $2000 cash prize, the third place will win the $750 and fourth place will win $250.
