 How It Works: Catch the Ace Lottery

  • Ticket Purchase:
    • Tickets can be bought online at www.dundascatchtheace.com or in person at the Dundas Legion on Wednesdays between 4:30-7:30pm or the St. Joseph's Villa – Foundation office.**
    • Ticket bundles are available: 3 tickets for $10, 10 tickets for $20, and 50 tickets for $50.
    • There is no limit to the number of tickets sold for each draw
    • Sales deadline is 7:30pm. each Wednesday.

  • Selecting an Envelope:
    • With each ticket order, buyers will select a virtual envelope number from the remaining unopened envelopes.
    • Each envelope contains a hidden playing card from a standard 52-card deck
    • The number of envelopes available for selection starts at 52 and declines by one each week, if the envelope selected by the weekly prize winner reveals a card other than the Ace of Spades

  • Weekly Draw:
    • Each week, one ticket is drawn and the holder of that ticket automatically wins 20% of that week’s sales.
    • The envelope number noted on the ticket is opened, revealing the hidden card.
      • If the envelope selected is the Ace of Spades, the lottery is finished, and the ticket holder wins the weekly prize plus the Ace of Spades Progressive Jackpot, which is 30% of ticket sales from all weekly draws to date.
      • If the envelope contains any card other than the Ace of Spades, the card is eliminated from future draws, and 30% of that week’s ticket sales is added to the Progressive Jackpot.  The lottery continues the following week with the remaining envelopes.
    • Draw results are posted online shortly after the draw
  • Prizes
    • Weekly Prize - 20% of the weekly sales go to the weekly draw winner.
    • Progressive Jackpot – 30% of the weekly sales are added to the progressive jackpot, which the weekly winner claims if their envelope contains the Ace of Spades.  The jackpot grows each week until the Ace of Spades is caught.
    • The remaining 50% of the sales support St. Joseph’s Villa Foundation.

  • Draw Results:
    • Draw results are posted online by 8:30 p.m. the same evening.
    • Weekly draws continue until the Ace of Spades is caught.

  • Additional Information
    • Buy your tickets every week and try to Catch the Ace!
    • Weekly draws continue until the Ace of Spades is caught
    • The progressive jackpot grows larger each week as more tickets are sold and cards are eliminated, increasing your odds of catching the Ace.
