Of course we were just in Canada (Windsor) too far west for this lottery. Did play Canadian lottery @ the casino we stayed. Noticed the lottery booth was manned by volunteers from a local hospice center. Sure wish this lottery was offered there.

What a great way to raise money for charity while also providing a boon to the local economy. Since it's a 'raffle', I assume the odds will depend on the number of tickets sold that week, but they have to be very, very good! I wouldn't relish standing in line for 7 hours to purchase a $5 ticket(s), but for a one in twelve chance of winning $1,000,000, I just might.

A Canadian lottery game used to raise money for charity has brought gambling fever to the city of St John's in the remote eastern province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Chase the Ace is a lottery game popular all over Canada's east coast, and often raises money for charity.

The winner of each week's draw gets to pick one card out of a deck; the ace of spades wins the jackpot.

A record-breaking-million-dollar game has attracted thousands of people to the Goulds area of St John's.
