Carl Williams, of St. Joseph, (left) is all smiles Feb. 16 as he redeems a winning ticket in exchange for a Clam fish house from Duane Scepaniak, also of St. Joseph. Williams said he could put the fish house to good use as the one he currently owns had been damaged by mice.

Mark Schmidt, of Sartell, smiles Feb. 16 before placing a small sunfish into a plastic tube which allows the fish to return under the ice.
