Trillium Court resident wins Catch the Ace weekly draw

Mayme Wilkins of Trillium Court Seniors' Community in Kincardine, was the lucky winner of the Catch the Ace draw, taking home a cheque for $153. She purchased her ticket at Jean's Family Restaurant, Kincardine.

Sponsored by the Kincardine Legion and the 2018 Kincardine Reunion committee, the lottery is based on a deck of 52 playing cards. You purchase a $5 ticket, write an envelope number on it (between one and 52), and submit it for the draw. Each week, a number is eliminated so you can no longer choose that number.

When the weekly draw is made, the winner's envelope number is opened to reveal a playing card. If it isn't the Ace of Spades, the winner receives a portion of the proceeds, with the rest going back into the Jackpot which grows until the Ace of Spaces is drawn. Half of the proceeds also goes to the Legion and the reunion committee.

There are 750 tickets available each week, and the draw is held every Wednesday at 4 p.m., at the Kincardine Legion.

Catch the Ace has been running for two months, and the Jackpot is close to $1,500. Get your ticket - you can't win if you don't play!

Tickets are available at Jean's Family Restaurant, Sleepers Bed Gallery, Lake Mart Esso, and the Legion Bar. The next draw will be held Wednesday, Aug. 2, at 4 p.m., at the Legion. All draws are broadcast on Facebook Live at: www.facebook.com/Kincardine-Legion-Catch-the-Ace-1341914625892251/

The lottery is being held under Lottery Licence No. M756548. You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase tickets.
