A Townsend Smith Hospice Foundation (TSHF) supporter has double dipped into the winning pool of the organization’s Catch the Ace weekly progressive raffle!
Jude Barros won $150 when he pulled the five of spades, just a few numbers shy of the elusive ace of spades! Barros has won previously, winning $102 in April.
Fundraiser coordinator for the TSHF Mallory Crippen says Barros should test his luck!
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. Here’s a rundown of how the raffle works:
- Participants purchase tickets which correspond with a numbered envelope.
- Each envelope holds a card from a standard deck of playing cards.
- Each week a name will be pulled from the draw, the name drawn is the weekly winner, who wins 20% of the ticket sales that week!
- They will also be invited to reveal what playing card is inside their envelope.
- If it is the Ace of Spades, they will also win an additional 30% of the total ticket sales (the jackpot)!
- If that card is not the Ace of Spades, that card will be removed from play and that 30% of the ticket sales gets rolled over into the next week.
- This process repeats until the Ace of Spades is found!
- The remaining 50% of the overall ticket sales goes to the TSHF.
Crippen explains why the area needs a hospice.
The TSHF is working on finalizing a deal for their location. The deal would be to take over the land of Hillcrest United Church in Georgetown, just across from Pineview Elementary School on Trafalgar Road.
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, May 20th at 12:00 p.m.. To participate and buy your tickets, click here.
