The latest winner of the Townsend Smith Hospice Foundation (TSHF) Catch the Ace raffle is Lauraine Andrews.
Each week, a winner is given a card from a deck. They automatically win the weekly pot, but could win the jackpot if they pull the elusive ace of spades. With 52 cards in a deck, there are now 50 cards still left to be picked. Andrews pulled the nine of spades to win $88 – leaving the jackpot still available for next week.
Events coordinator for the TSHF, Mallory Crippen, says Andrews will likely put the money back into the pot.
The jackpot is sitting at an even $2500. That’s thanks to sponsors Laurie Day and Liane LaBarbera of IG Wealth Management. The jackpot will increase once the donations surpass the flat rate.
Crippen explains where the money from raffle is going.
The Foundation feels the community would be better served by having palliative and respite care available in either Milton or Halton Hills.
This is the third go around for the Catch the Ace draw for Townsend Smith. Last year’s draw was won by a group known as the She-Beasts who workout out of Milton’s FirePower CrossFit gym. They won a collective $27,941. You can read about their win here.
The next draw will be Friday, March 4th at 12:00 p.m.. To participate and buy your tickets, click here.
