After 51 unforgettable weeks, Catch the Ace 7 ended in celebration. Today, a new lottery is already writing the next chapter.
RUSSELL, ONTARIO, July 16, 2026 — Fourteen weeks into its newest Catch the Ace lottery, the Kin Club of Russell is celebrating milestones that few charitable gaming programs ever achieve.
As of last Sunday’s draw, the organization’s Catch the Ace program has now generated more than $18 million in ticket sales, awarded over $9 million in prizes, and raised more than $7,845,000 for charities since the lottery first began.
Meanwhile, the newest lottery continues to build momentum with an estimated jackpot of $185,000, an estimated weekly prize of $10,000, and more than $225,000 already raised for charities during its first fourteen weeks.
Building on an Extraordinary Legacy
For many supporters, the memories of Catch the Ace 7 are still fresh. After an unforgettable 51-week journey that captivated players across Ontario, the previous lottery concluded with a life-changing jackpot winner and millions of dollars raised for charities.
That remarkable finish wasn’t simply the end of one lottery, it became the foundation for the next one.
Today, the Kin Club of Russell’s Catch the Ace program continues to support hospitals, food banks, youth organizations, mental health initiatives and dozens of community projects throughout Eastern Ontario.
“Every ticket purchased tells two stories,” said Catch the Ace Chair Doug Anthony. “There’s the excitement of the lottery itself, and there’s the difference those ticket sales make for charities throughout our community.”

Momentum Is Building Again
Supporters who followed the previous lottery know how quickly a Catch the Ace campaign can gather momentum. Week after week, jackpots grow. Communities rally behind local charities. New players join the excitement.
The current lottery appears to be following that same path.
Just fourteen weeks into the new campaign, the estimated jackpot has already reached $185,000, while this week’s estimated weekly prize has climbed to $10,000.
If history has taught supporters anything, it’s that today’s numbers often become tomorrow’s milestones.
The next great Catch the Ace story is well underway.
