*Proceeds from this duck pluck benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Elgin. It is the mission of the Club to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The number on the front of this adoption paper is a "computer database number"
that relates to your entries. Much like the state lottery, every duck has a unique number that is tied back to your database number (that we refer to on the front of your paper as your Tracking Number). In order to guarantee fair pluck results, software randomly assigns the numbers on the bottom of the ducks to your computer database number on the day of the pluck. Subsequently, you will never know which ducks in the fountain are actually yours. However, you may contact us in the weeks after the pluck at 847-742-DUCK to learn what "duck tag numbers" were related back to your "Tracking Number"
