Duckie winners announced
The first-place duck did not win the big cash this year.
As often happens, not all of the tickets in the Golden Days Rubber Duckie race were sold.
Duck No. 4139 crossed the finish line first Saturday, but only the $5 ticket for that duck had been sold, earning the buyer $5,000.
The $10,000 winner then becomes the second-place duck, which was No. 2011.
Of the winning ducks, the only $10 ticket that went unsold was for the first-place duck.
The only $5 ticket that went unsold was No. 5624.
A complete list of the winners will be published Tuesday on page B-2 of the News-Miner.
Non-cash prizes can be picked up at the Chamber of Commerce office starting Wednesday. Cash prizes will be available Aug. 2.

Societies priorities of news worthyness is interesting. A fathers concern and grief over a cultures high suicide rate is of a lower news worthyness than some rubberduck gambeling. Very interesting.
