Medallion Hunters, Your 2017 Prize Awaits

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A potential prize of $10,000 awaits the person who finds this year's St. Paul Winter Carnival medallion.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press announced that the first clue for this year's Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt will be issued on Sunday, Jan. 22, though an early peek will be available in the early edition late Saturday.

Clues will be unveiled as to the whereabouts of the medallion on a daily basis until it's found.

The medallion will be hidden somewhere on public land in Ramsey County. Whoever finds it will be awarded $2,500, with an additional $2,500 prize for having clippings of all published clues.

And if the winner also happens to be a registered 2017 Winter Carnival button owner, they'll get another cool $5,000.
