$1.27 Million Jackpot, 10 Envelopes Left, and the Suspense Is Mounting

Only 10 envelopes remain — and the Ace of Spades is still out there.

RUSSELL, ONTARIO, September 18, 2025 — The Kin Club of Russell’s Catch the Ace lottery is entering its most dramatic stage yet. The jackpot has surged to $1,271,000, with only 10 envelopes left in play. Alongside the growing jackpot, this week’s winner will also claim an estimated $45,000 weekly prize.

The odds have never looked better. Every ticket sold is a chance to win the weekly prize — and a shot at uncovering the elusive Ace of Spades, which grows more likely with every envelope removed.

Community Impact Keeps Growing

This round of Catch the Ace has already raised more than $1,655,000 for charities, providing crucial support for hospitals, youth programs, mental health services, and food banks across Eastern Ontario.

“It’s incredible to see what this lottery has achieved,” said a Kin Club volunteer. “We’re not just giving out prizes — we’re giving back to the community in a huge way.”

How the Draw Works

Each week, players purchase tickets and choose an envelope number. The weekly winner takes home the guaranteed prize — this week, $45,000 — and their envelope is opened. If it reveals the Ace of Spades, they also win the jackpot, now at $1.27 million.

Ticket deadline: Saturday at 11:59 PM ET
Live draw: Sunday at 3:15 PM ET on Facebook

The Suspense Builds

The Ace of Spades is still out there. And the story isn’t over yet.

$1.2 Million Jackpot, $45,000 Weekly Prize, and Just 11 Envelopes Left in Catch the Ace

Celebration is in the air as the jackpot climbs to $1,200,000 — but the Ace of Spades is still hiding.

 

RUSSELL, ONTARIO, September 11, 2025 — The Kin Club of Russell’s Catch the Ace lottery has reached yet another milestone, with the jackpot now estimated at $1,200,000. Adding to the excitement, this week’s weekly prize has climbed to $45,000, a significant jump from previous draws. With just 11 envelopes remaining, the suspense has never been greater.

Every ticket holder knows the thrill of two chances: one to win the weekly prize, and one to finally uncover the elusive Ace of Spades. Each week that passes, the jackpot grows, the envelopes shrink, and the anticipation mounts across Ontario.

A Bigger Weekly Win

The increase in the weekly prize pool has added a new spark of excitement. At $45,000, the guaranteed weekly win is higher than in recent weeks, offering even more incentive for players to join in.

“It’s exciting to see both the jackpot and the weekly prize growing,” said a Kin Club member. “Every ticket sold boosts those numbers — and it all comes back to support our charities.”

Impact That Keeps Growing

This round alone has already raised more than $1,555,000 for charities, supporting frontline organizations that provide health care, food assistance, youth programs, and mental health services. Since the lottery began, millions more have been directed into the community, strengthening vital programs across Eastern Ontario.

See the list of supported charities here: https://kinclubofrussell.ca/catch-the-ace/our-charities/

How It Works

Each week, one ticket is drawn for the weekly prize — now an impressive $45,000. That winner’s chosen envelope is then opened. If it reveals the Ace of Spades, the jackpot — currently sitting at $1.2 million — is instantly won.

With only 11 envelopes left, the Ace could be revealed at any moment.
