It came down to the final race and an inquiry for Marilyn Spitzig and Debbie Campbell to garner the $11 in points and leapfrog into first place in the Hanover Raceway and Slots Handicapping Contest.

The event lasted eight weeks and was sponsored by Hanover Raceway and Slots, Woodbine Entertainment and HDTV in Hanover and Walkerton.

Spitzig and Campbell each win a 50-inch HD Smart TV from HDTV thanks to their final total of $323.80 in selections over the eight-week tournament. Ron Lauson and Mike Stachelscheid of Hanover finished in 2nd place and won $500, while Harold and Heather Fleet of Hanover finished in 3rd place, and won $250.00. A total of 15 teams of two and three players took part in the contest.
