The ace of spades lives on. As Week 17 proceeds, the jackpot promises to keep increasing.

With weekly prizes of between $400 and $760 and winners like Heather Gowan from Owen Sound, who won $690 in the Week 16 draw, Catch the Ace GBHS is continues to grow.

The progressive jackpot is now sitting at an estimated $13,500 and is expected to grow over well over $14,000 this coming week, as tickets are sold! Funds raised will support the purchase of an MRI system at Owen Sound Regional Hospital.

In the Owen Sound Regional Hospital Foundation office, there are now 36 playing cards individually sealed in manila envelopes on display. These envelopes are numbered from 1 through 52, with the exception of the envelopes already opened by our weekly winners.

Nobody knows which envelope contains the Ace of Spades – until one lucky weekly winner catches it!

The MRI in the Owen Sound Regional Hospital is used over 11,000 times per year on patients from across Grey and Bruce to diagnose a range of medical conditions. Tests done with the next generation of MRI technology will be faster, quieter and more comfortable for patients, and will provide physicians with higher quality images to aid in more accurate diagnoses.

Catch the Ace tickets can be purchased in many places throughout Grey and Bruce Counties.
