We have a new weekly winner for the Catch the Ace lottery draw.
The Townsend Smith Hospice Foundation is holding the 50/50 draw each week. One winner is given a card from a deck. They automatically win the weekly draw, but could win the jackpot if they pull the ace of spades. Kevin Riley pulled the ace of hearts, winning himself $703.
Events Coordinator Mallory Crippen says it was exciting to see an ace card get pulled.
The jackpot keeps on building as it has now surpassed $20,000. Crippen adds that it’s really a win-win scenario as each week, someone wins money and the Townsend Smith Hospice Foundation gets donations.
This is the second go-around for the Townsend Smith Foundation and the weekly 50/50 draw. Some of the previous winners this year have been:

All proceeds raised by the Townsend Smith Hospice Foundation are going towards their ultimate goal of bringing a hospice to North Halton. It is their mission to provide close-to-home palliative care to residents. It might end up going in the freshly announced Wilfrid Laurier University-Conestoga College joint campus, to be located off Tremaine Road by the Milton Velodrome. Learn all about that here.
