A "Catch the Ace" progressive (accumulating jackpot) raffle lottery is a multiple draw game in which participants purchase tickets for a chance to win.It's open to all Ontario residents.
The person who holds the winning ticket selected in each draw has an opportunity to select one playing card from a single deck of 52 playing cards.
If the Ace of Spades is selected, in addition to winning a percentage of the proceeds from the draw (20%) the person will win the progressive jackpot.
Weekly prizes are in relation to the income from same-week ticket sales:
20% will be awarded to the winning ticket holder
30% will be added to a rising Progressive Jackpot.
50% of the net proceeds (less allowable expenses) will go to The Rotary Club of Simcoe for distribution to various charities within the Province of Ontario.
If the card selected is not the Ace of Spades, the selected card is removed from the deck and the progressive prize portion of the ticket sales for that draw is rolled over into the progressive jackpot for the next scheduled draw.
