How It Works – Rules of play

Catch the Ace is a progressive lottery governed by AGCO rules.

We start by shuffling the 52 cards of a playing deck, placing them back up so we cannot see the cards, then sliding each one into its envelope, again, without viewing them.

The envelopes are then sealed and reshuffled, and we number the sealed envelopes from 1 to 52. We do not know which cards are in which envelopes.

  • Tickets are sold online and in paper ticket formats.
  • The buyer enters their name, phone number and envelope choice.
  • Online and paper ticket stubs are the same size, colour, stock and weight.

All tickets purchased between 4 PM Sunday and approximately noon the next Sunday (online ticket sales cease at 11:59 PM Saturday) are placed into the raffle bin.
Tickets are valid for the week they are purchased only.

Each week, at 3:15 PM, we conduct a draw of all tickets purchased that week (tickets are good for only one week of the draw).

  • Only one ticket is drawn from the raffle bin.
  • The one winner wins 20% of the total sales for that week or $2.00 for every ticket sold.
  • 30% of the sales every week are put towards the progressive jackpot.
  • ONLY the one draw winner picks an envelope and ONLY the one winner can win the jackpot or the weekly prize.

He/she has their chosen envelope opened, if it is the Ace of Spades, they win the jackpot, if it is not, that envelope number is retired from play and there is one less envelope in next week’s draw.
It is irrelevant how many people select the same envelope number, again, it only matters to the one person whose ticket is drawn, ONLY that one person can win the jackpot.

The lottery continues each week until the Ace of Spades is selected by the raffle draw winner.
