Nenana Ice Classic jackpot is $303,895 FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) _ The jackpot in the Nenana Ice Classic is bigger than last year, but only by a little. Event organizers say this year's jackpot is $303,895. Ice Classic manager Cherrie Forness says that's an increase of $623. The Ice Classic is in its 92nd year. Thousands of people pay $2.50 a ticket to guess what date and time to the minute a tripod set up on the Tanana River ice at Nenana, 55 miles south of Fairbanks, will move downstream and trip a clock that is wired to shore. Forness says judging from the looks of the ice, it will probably be another week before the tripod falls or moves. |
