Community Lottery Crosses $1.13 Million Jackpot — 12 Envelopes Remain

RUSSELL, ONTARIO, September 4, 2025 — The Kin Club of Russell’s Catch the Ace lottery has crossed another thrilling milestone. With the jackpot now estimated at $1,130,000, and only 12 envelopes left, excitement across Eastern Ontario is building to a fever pitch.

Each week, thousands of hopefuls purchase tickets, not only for the chance at life-changing winnings, but also to be part of a community effort that has already raised over $1.46 million for charities this round alone. Since the lottery began, the total has now grown to more than $5.6 million raised for good causes — a staggering achievement for a grassroots lottery in a small community.

A Story of Community Support

When the Kin Club of Russell launched Catch the Ace, they knew it would generate enthusiasm. But few could have predicted the remarkable success the lottery has become — helping hospitals, food banks, youth organizations, and mental health services across the region.

“It’s not just about the jackpot,” a Kin Club member shared. “Every ticket purchased helps a local charity. That’s what makes the excitement so powerful — it’s win-win for everyone.”

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

This Week’s Draw

The weekly prize is estimated at $40,000, guaranteed to one lucky winner drawn this Sunday. But the real anticipation lies in whether the Ace of Spades will finally be revealed from the dwindling pool of envelopes.

Only 12 envelopes remain. Each week that passes brings the lottery closer to its dramatic conclusion. Will this be the week the Ace is caught?

Catch the Ace isn’t just another lottery — it’s become a symbol of how a small-town initiative can make a big impact. With every envelope opened, anticipation grows. With every ticket sold, lives in the community are improved.

The jackpot is now over $1.13 million. The suspense is real. And the story is far from over.
