A new fundraising initiative dubbed “Catch the Ace CK” has arrived in Chatham-Kent.
A joint effort between Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent and the Rotary Club of Chatham Sunrise, the progressive online lottery program guarantees a minimum jackpot of $5,000 to the first weekly winner who picks up the Ace of Spades.
“We’re excited to bring a fun new way of fundraising to Chatham-Kent,” said Mike Coyne, Habitat’s local director of operations and capital development. “Playing Catch the Ace CK is a way to not only possibly win something for yourself, but to support your local community doing it.”
If the weekly prize winner’s selected card is the Ace of Spades, under Catch the Ace CK, they also claim the progressive jackpot. One ticket will be selected each week until the Ace of Spades is revealed.
For each ticket sale, 50 per cent of the proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity Chatham-Kent charitable causes and the other half to the Rotary Club of Chatham Sunrise. A total of 30 per cent is funneled to the progressive jackpot and 20 per cent goes to the winner of the weekly prizes.
Complete details can be found online at catchtheaceck.ca. Tickets can be purchased on the site or in person at the Habitat Restore at 55 Junction Ave. in Chatham. Debit and major credit cards are accepted.
