Participants are welcomed to purchase raffle tickets and have a chance to win big! \nHow to Play: To play Catch the Ace participants must purchase tickets which correspond with a numbered envelope. Each envelope holds a card from a standard deck of playing cards. Each week a name will be pulled from the draw\, the name drawn is the weekly winner\, who wins 20% of the ticket sales that week! They will also be invited to reveal what playing card is inside their envelope. If it is the Ace of Spades\, they will also win an additional 30% of the ticket sales! If that card is not the Ace of Spades\, that card will be removed from play and that 30% of the ticket sales gets rolled over into the next week. This process repeats until the Ace of Spades is found! The remaining 50% of the overall ticket sales goes to the The Townsend Smith Hospice Foundation. \nPrices: 5 for $10\, 20 for $25\, 80 for $50\, or 200 for $100 \nDraws: Ticket sales will conclude each Friday at noon\, at which time all qualified tickets are confirmed and the weekly winner is drawn.
