Ace of Spades?

You must be 18 or older and in Ontario at the time of purchase. Members of the raffle committee, their household family members and anyone involved in running the draw cannot take part.
The weekly winner still takes 20% of that week’s ticket sales. The envelope they chose is opened, the card inside is removed from play, and the progressive jackpot rolls over to the following Thursday.
Sales close at 2:00 p.m. ET on draw day, five hours before the draw. They reopen once the result has been announced and published on this site.
20% goes to the weekly winner, 30% is added to the progressive jackpot and 50% supports local healthcare and community projects through the Rotary Club of New Tecumseth.
Winning ticket numbers are published on the Past Winners page after each draw. We also contact the winner using the email address given at purchase.
