FILE - In this April 12, 2012 file photo, a red flag is whipped by wind on a tripod sitting on the frozen Nenana River on, in Nenana, Alaska. The tripod serves as the basis for Alaska's biggest guessing game, with people buying tickets to guess when the ice will give out and the tripod will fall into the river. Some states have a lottery. In Interior Alaska, it's the Ice Classic, the annual guessing game of when the Tanana River ice goes out. The spring tradition is celebrating its 100-year anniversary this year.
