50K to the wrong brother?

FARIBAULT, Minn. - An 11-year-old Minnesota boy has made an astounding hockey shot — sending a puck into a tiny hole 27 metres away.

The shot at a charity game should be worth US$50,000, but there's one problem: Nate Smith was standing in for his identical twin, Nick.

Nick Smith says he was outside when his ticket was drawn to make the shot Thursday at the charity game in Faribault. So, his brother stepped in.

Nate Smith says he was "stunned" when the puck went in.

Their father told organizers Nate, not Nick, made the shot. Pat Smith says honesty is the best policy.

The general manager of the company that insured the raffle says processing claims takes about three weeks and he can't make a decision on payment until he's done.
