Catch the Ace is a progressive jackpot, multiple-draw, weekly raffle in which ticket holders have the chance to win a Weekly Prize and the Catch the Ace Jackpot.
The Hospice Georgina Catch the Ace Raffle is an online version of the enormously popular raffle. Tickets start at $5 and provide a chance to win BIG – in both a weekly prize and a larger progressive jackpot - with 50% of all tickets sales going to Hospice Georgina.
When you buy tickets, you will also pick a digital card that might contain the Ace of Spades. If your ticket is chosen, you’ll win 20% of that week’s ticket sales – and if your digital card is the Ace of Spades, you’ll also win the Catch the Ace Progressive Jackpot. If your digital card is not the Ace of Spades, the progressive jackpot grows and that digital card is removed from the deck, increasing the chances of catching the ace next week. Weekly draws continue until the Ace of Spades is caught and the Progressive Jackpot is won!
The Weekly Prize is 20% of ticket sales collected during a specific draw week. The Catch the Ace Progressive Jackpot is 30% of all ticket sales collected over the course of the multi-week campaign.
FOR EXAMPLE: The Weekly Prize for the 10th week would be $50,000 (20% of $250,000) and would go to the draw winner for week 10. The Catch the Ace Progressive Jackpot would be at $75,000 (30% of $250,000) and would go to the draw winner for week 10 – if their selected digital card contained the Ace of Spades.
Weekly sales will be cut off at 9:00pm every Wednesday. If the Ace of Spades is not revealed during that evening’s draw, sales for the following week will commence at 11:00am on the next day.
All aspects of the Hospice Georgina Catch the Ace Raffle are managed using a digital platform, or software program, that has been approved by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.

The odds of winning a Weekly Prize draw depend on the number of tickets in the draw. There is no limit to the number of tickets that can be sold. The odds of selecting the digital card containing the Ace of Spades begins at 1 in 52 and these odds improve with each weekly removal of digital cards containing a digital card other than the Ace of Spades.
Fifty percent of all raffle proceeds are retained by Hospice Georgina and, following other raffle costs, are invested in the current campaign..
