NEGAUNEE, Mich. (AP) - Someone who must know something about Upper Peninsula weather has won $1,508 for guessing when old mining equipment would break completely through melting ice.
The Teal Lake Melt-Down came to an official close Friday when the metal structure was completely submerged on the lake in Negaunee. Contestants had up to March 31 to buy a $5 ticket and guess when the headframe would sink.
The winning entry was only 49 minutes from the actual time. The winner’s name wasn’t immediately released.
