Minnesota family waits to hear if shot is worth $50K



FARIBAULT, Minn. (AP) - Eleven-year-old Nate Smith shot a puck
through a tiny hole 89 feet away. Now he and his family are waiting
to hear if he'll collect a $50,000 prize or be whistled for a rules
violation.
     That's because his identical twin Nick was supposed to take the
shot Thursday during a charity game in the southern Minnesota city
of Faribault. Nick's name was on the ticket drawn for the chance.
     But Nick was outside, so Nate took the shot - and made it.
     Their father, Pat Smith, says honesty is the best policy. He
told organizers Nate, not Nick, made the shot.
     The company that insured the raffle hasn't said yet if it will
pay.
     But the Owatonna (oh-wuh-TAHN'-uh) family got a trip to New York
to make the rounds on the morning shows.
