If it doesn't work when you take it out of the rice tomorrow you can probably consider it a nice memory.

Even if you get it working, it's probably going to conk out in a couple months. You're not going to be able to get ALL the water out, and there's going to be some rusting over time that will eventually destroy it.

No fix. Only prevention.
Maybe now that there are water resistant phones, they'll work on hazardsuiting other tech gadgets.

Wait....was the iPod in rice, or was the washing machine in rice?

When water seeps into electronic devices, a common fix is to place the affected device into a container of dry (uncooked) rice which supposedly absorbs the moisture back out.

But yeah, a washer machine does much more damage than just water.
