Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt, sponsored by Cub Foods and the 140th Saint Paul Winter Carnival
Win up to $15,000 in prize money! Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt sponsored by Cub and the St Paul Winter Carnival
This year, the Pioneer Press/TwinCities.com is partnering with the Saint Paul Winter Carnival to celebrate the 140th Anniversary with the biggest prize ever!
The Pioneer Press/TwinCities.com hides a small medallion on Public land in Ramsey County.
The rules are simple: No purchase is necessary to win.
The hunt starts on Sunday, January 18th before the 140th Saint Paul Winter Carnival kicks off on January 22. A new clue appears daily (for 12 days or whenever it is found) in print and online. Hunters read the clues to figure out where the medallion is hidden. The person who finds the medallion wins $5,000. Additionally, they can win an extra $5,000 if they have the registered 2026 commemorative Treasure Hunt Patch. If they have the first two listed items in celebration of the 140th Saint Paul Winter Carnival, they can win an extra $5,000 if they also have a 2026 Saint Paul Winter Carnival Button.
Total Win could be up to $15,000! Happy Hunting!
