It’s not too late to win big with Catch the Ace! There’s still no sign of the ace, and more treasure is added to the jackpot every week. The jackpot has climbed to $889,000, making the Kin Club of Russell’s Catch the Ace draw the biggest one in Ontario! And even if you don’t score the jackpot — your tickets help support amazing local charities (like us). So really, you can’t lose.
You may have seen us selling Catch the Ace tickets at HOPE Volleyball SummerFest, pop-up events, and promoting them on social media. Playing is a great way to support the HOPE mission in these few months between SummerFest and HOPE RockFest. A huge thank you to everyone who has already bought tickets and selected Charity #9 - H.O.P.E. Helps on the beneficiary list. We truly appreciate the support.
We’re using the funds raised through Catch the Ace to power up two of our awesome projects.
Bags of HOPE
We’re continuing our legacy of distributing Bags of HOPE in our community. First launched in 2019, we band together with our awesome crew of volunteers to deliver bags filled to the brim with essentials like toiletries, non-perishable food items, and books into the community. We tailor the contents to the community group it’s supporting, whether that’s low-income housing, youth centres, or more.
HOPE Grocery Support
It’s no secret that food prices have been skyrocketing over the past several years. With the current cost of groceries, food insecurity is on the rise — especially for people who also have dietary restrictions.
Which is why we’re so excited to be launching HOPE Grocery Support, made possible by Catch the Ace players like you! We’ll be teaming up with local grocery stores to help supplement the cost of groceries for families and individuals in need.
Okay, but how do you play?
Great question, we would love to tell you. The game is played with a deck of cards, and your mission is to catch the ace of spades. The deck is shuffled and each card is placed in an envelope ranging from 1-52. Once you buy tickets online or in person, you will choose a recipient charity and an envelope still in play.
Every Sunday, the Kin Club of Russell conducts a draw of all tickets bought that week. If your envelope is selected and the ace of spades is in it, you win the jackpot! If it’s not, you will win a weekly amount of 20% of sales for that week. Last week's winner won over $34,000. After each weekly draw, that envelope is retired from use.
Ready to help us make a big difference? Grab your Catch the Ace tickets and make sure you select Charity #9 - H.O.P.E. Helps on the beneficiary list to support our programs!
