NEW: RI Lottery’s “Diamond Quest” Scavenger Hunt Hits Downtown Providence
Friday, June 17, 2011
It's good enough to be a reality show.
Tomorrow in downtown Providence, 25 Rhode Island Lottery players and their beloved sidekicks are going on a crazed scavenger hunt... to win a 1.05 carat diamond.
It's called "Diamond Quest," and according to organizers the questers tomorrow vary in age, motive, and familiarity with Providence. But everyone's ready to solve clues and come up with the goods. The participants were drawn randomly by the RI Lottery from a pool of non-winning 420 Black Diamonds Instant Tickets that players had mailed in.
