How it works

Who can play

1. You must be 18 years of age or older to buy a ticket or claim a prize. #
2. You must be physically located in Ontario at the moment of purchase. #
3. Volunteers who conduct the draw, members of the raffle committee and members of their households may not take part. #
4. Photo identification and proof of age may be required before a prize is paid. #

Ticket price and how to buy

5. One ticket costs $5.00. There is no bulk discount. #
6. Tickets are sold on this website only. #
7. You may buy as many tickets as you wish for a draw, each with its own envelope selection. #
8. A ticket is valid for one draw only and does not carry forward. #
9. Sales close at 2:00 p.m. ET on draw day and reopen once the result is published. #

When and where the draw happens

10. Draws are held every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. ET. #
11. Weeks 1 to 26 are drawn at the Alliston Legion; weeks 27 to 52 at the Tottenham Legion. #
12. One ticket is drawn at random from all valid tickets for that week. #
13. The envelope chosen on the drawn ticket is opened in public, and the card inside is shown. #
14. A card that is not the Ace of Spades is removed from play along with its envelope. #
15. The series continues weekly until the Ace of Spades is drawn. #

How the prize money is divided

16. 20% of the week’s ticket sales goes to the holder of the drawn ticket. #
17. 30% is added to the progressive jackpot. #
18. 50% supports the charitable purposes approved under the licence. #
19. The jackpot starts at $2,500 and grows every week until it is won. #
20. The jackpot is paid only when the Ace of Spades is drawn. #

How winners are notified and paid

21. Winning ticket numbers are published on this website after each draw. #
22. We contact the winner by email, and by telephone where a number was given, normally within two business days. #
23. Prizes are paid within fifteen business days of the winner’s identity and eligibility being confirmed. #
24. Checking the published results remains your responsibility; notification is a courtesy. #

Unclaimed prizes

25. An unclaimed prize is held for six months from the draw date. #
26. After six months the licensee applies to the AGCO for approval to direct the funds to an approved recipient. #

Refunds and mistakes

28. Duplicate charges and charges that produced no ticket are refunded on request. #
