Nearly $750,000 won or donated through Rotary’s Catch the Ace

The Rotary Club of North Bay says over $485,000 in prize money has been won through its Catch the Ace of Spades raffle draw since 2017.

The draw returns next week (Feb. 25) with the progressive accumulated jackpot starting at $5,000.

Along with all that prize money being handed out in the past nine years, approximately $250,000 has been donated by the Rotary Club of North Bay.

Proceeds go to various organizations in the North Bay area, from Sturgeon Falls to Mattawa and Temagami to Callander.

Tickets are available online and in-person at Airport Hill Variety, Birchaven Variety, Wingate Lottery and Northgate Convenience.

Officials say even if the Ace of Spades is not picked, each weekly winner receives 20% of ticket sales that week.
