The Kin Club of Russell’s fifth Catch the Ace lottery has reached a quarter million dollars jackpot and continues to grow, and each weekly winner is taking home more than $12,000. The club takes no commission from ticket sales, and after approved expenses, all the remaining proceeds go straight to charity. Club officials report that they’ve accumulated over $355,000 for charity already.
Tickets are available online as well as in-person at 26 retail locations across Eastern Ontario. There are six charities participating in the Fifth Catch the Ace lottery, which are Good Neighbours Food Bank in Russell, the Kin Club of Russell’s Storage Centre For Local Service Clubs and Charities, the Osgoode Care Centre, the Valoris Foundation, Victoria’s Quilts Canada, and the WDMH Foundation.
The Kin Club broadcasts each draw live, every Sunday at 3:15 p.m. on its Facebook page. Winners are contacted by phone during each broadcast.
