For 15 years, Junior Achievement in Rochester, Minnesota, has held a rubber duck race to raise money
Reason, Nov, 2004 by Charles Oliver
For 15 years, Junior Achievement in Rochester, Minnesota, has held a rubber duck race to raise money. Then state authorities found out. It turns out nonprofits are legally permitted to raise money through gambling, but only if it's limited to bingo, pull tabs, pinwheels, raffles, or tip boards. Duck racing isn't on the list.
The group had to cancel its fundraiser but may revive it with an approved gambling method next year.
