The Nenana Ice Classic is an interesting Alaskan event that is held every year. On the Tanana River, they set up a tripod on the ice with a wire connected to a pole on shore. People buy tickets, and specify what time they think the ice will break up enough to move the tripod enough to detach the wire from the pole on shore. If you pick the right time, you win a lot of money.
Well, the tripod tipped at 10:53 Tuesday night. Later than last year, which was April 27th. The jackpot this year is just over $300,000. Someone got really lucky. I was going to buy a ticket this year, but was really busy with moving and so on, and forgot. Check it out:
