Klondike Trail of '98 International Road Relay

As fall descends upon the Yukon, so does a plethora of runners. September marks the running of the Klondike Road Relay (KRR); this year the race will be run on September 10th and 11th. This international race draws teams from all over, and teams from Yukon, British Columbia and Alaska have registered. There are numerous categories to accommodate the various participants; some of which include walkers, youth, corporate, mixed, women's, masters or ultra.

The race is run between Skagway, Alaska and Whitehorse, Yukon, which means this race is not for the faint of heart! The race route leads participants through the St. Elias mountain range with a summit of 2,865 feet and hills of up to a 10% grade.

The KRR started in 1982 and has been "running" annually ever since. The Yukon Lottery Commission has funded Sport Yukon for the Klondike Road Relay for the past nine years. An event of this magnitude takes many volunteers to operate successfully and Lotteries Yukon would like to recognize these volunteers for the tremendous amount of work they do to make this event so successful. The Commission wishes organizers, volunteers and participants another successful relay this year.

Important Information for Lottery Players

Tips on how to protect your play:

• ALWAYS print your name, address and daytime telephone number on the back of your ticket as soon as you receive it. Policy requires that all tickets have a name or signature on the back prior to being validated at retail. It's your ticket! Sign it! Protect it!
• Check your numbers using one of the following:
o Go to www.wclc.com/winning_numbers/
o Ask for a winning numbers list from your retailer
o Use the ticket-checker at retail
o Call the Lotteries Yukon winning numbers line: 667-2417
• When your retailer validates your ticket:
o Ask to see your validation slip
o Confirm that the control numbers match
o If you have a winning ticket worth $1,000 or less, return the validation slip and your ticket for payment by retailer
o If you have a non-winning ticket, keep your validation slip and your ticket
o If you have a dispute or if you have winnings over $1,000, bring your validation slip and ticket to the Lotteries Yukon office at 312 Wood Street or mail them to the address on the back of your ticket
• Ticket paper is thermal sensitive. Do not leave your ticket on your vehicle’s dashboard, on a window ledge, or in any place where it may receive prolonged sunlight as the print on your ticket may disappear!
• All tickets expire. Pay attention to the expiry dates on the back of your tickets to avoid missing out on the collection of your winnings.

Have Fun and Good Luck!!
