Oswego, Ill. – Kelsey Cuff of Naperville recently won over $10,000 in the Rotary Club of Oswego’s 6th Annual Duck Race. Cuff won both a $10,000 insured prize, which was paid for by Odds On Promotions, as well as a $500 guaranteed prize, which was provided by the Club, when the numbers on her first-place finishing rubber duck (#0048) – which had been purchased by her father for $5 – matched one of Odds On’s twenty-five pre-selected Lucky Duck numbers.
According to Duck Race chairperson Jennifer Jones-Sinnott with Brian Feltes & Associates, the club releases 2000 numbered ducks, each of which has a corresponding “ticket” into a tributary of the Fox River. Last year’s event raised roughly $7,500 which was then distributed by the Rotary Club’s Foundation to the community (75%) and international (25%) causes.

“It’s so funny to say ‘claim’. A ‘claim’ is usually a bad thing,” joked Sinnott, “But in this case – it’s a great thing. We had a winner. We just filled out the forms, got it certified. It was very efficient. I’ve been insuring this event –with Odds On – since 2007. Zak, our rep, is amazing. I am always happy to provide a reference for him. The insurance does add to the event.”

The Rotary Club’s Duck Race is a part of PrairieFest, Oswego’s four-day community celebration. Cuff, a Junior at Augustana College, used her winnings to help cover her college expenses.
