t took 20 weeks, 17 envelopes, and a lot of anticipation, but Catch the Ace has found its winner. On the night of the Week 20 draw, Bill Gow’s ticket was pulled, he chose envelope #17, and inside was the Ace of Spades. The weekly prize of $10,810 combined with the progressive jackpot of $254,503 made for a grand total of $265,313. Not a bad Thursday night.
This version of Catch the Ace was the Club’s strongest yet. Growth over previous draws was significant, profits improved substantially, and the result will mean close to $100,000 for the Rotary Club of Barrie to put back into the community. That is the kind of number that funds real projects, supports local causes, and keeps the Club doing what it does best. Since partnering with the Barrie Legion in 2022, the two organizations have together distributed over $2.1 million to winners and donated over $850,000 to local charitable organizations.
Catch the Ace is expected to return as early as September. Stay tuned for details on when the next round kicks off and start thinking about your envelope!
