Riddle of the Week

This Week's Riddle

First mine and then it's ours,

Perhaps drawn but isn't traced

Needed for the runner

Who made it to third place.

Sometimes worth a penny,

Grows green as the time flies.

"See you on the table!"

Cry the punsters and the wise.

(answer is one word)

Take my guess exactly as typed

I'm not sure of the spelling
