    The MEGA PRIZE 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 begins, 3 lucky duck numbers will be preselected by Odds On Promotions. If any of the 3 lucky duck places anywhere from 1st place thru 10th place in the race, the participant who adopted that duck will win the corresponding MEGA PRIZE. The 1st place number will receive $50,000; the second place number will receive $30,000; the 3rd place will receive $20,000. The prizes will be paid from Odds On Promotions, NOT the Rotary Club of Shorewood, its members, officers, friends, family or any other individual not associated with Odds On Promotions. The winner of any of the Mega Prizes WILL NOT receive any other prizes for their finish in the race, including the $2500 1st prize or the $1000 2nd prize or the $500 3rd prize. The “RCoS” hopes that this won’t disappoint you too much if you win one of the MEGA PRIZEs. The “RCoS” has no input in choosing the 3 lucky duck numbers, nor does it have input on how the prize is awarded. Odds On Promotions will be contacted following the race to determine if there is a MEGA PRIZE winner. Thank You & Good Luck.
