Your Chance to Win Big—St. Paul's Foundation 50/50 Raffle

VANCOUVER, BC, August 27, 2026 — Do you have your St. Paul’s Foundation 50/50 raffle tickets yet? One lucky winner will take home half the jackpot, while the other half will go directly toward supporting patients, long-term care residents, and their families with compassionate, comforting care across BC.

Building Confidence Through Hydrotherapy
At Holy Family Hospital (HFH) Rehabilitation, the hydrotherapy pool is more than a therapeutic space, it’s a bridge to independence. Operated by the physiotherapy team, the pool supports a diverse group of patients across both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, as well as participants in the Chronic Pain Program at St. Paul’s Hospital.

By mirroring the tools and experiences patients will encounter in community settings, HFH Rehabilitation creates a seamless transition from clinical care to independent, self-directed activity, supporting lasting recovery, and healthy movement. As demand for these programs continue to grow, so does the need for specialized equipment that reflects real-world, community-based physical activity.

Your raffle purchase helps fund new hydrotherapy equipment such as, yako paddles, styrofoam hand weights, steps, pool noodle, and beach balls, giving patients the opportunity to safely practice and become familiar with tools under the guidance of a physiotherapist. This hands-on experience builds the confidence, and practical skills patients need to carry their recovery forward, long after they leave hospital care.

More tickets = more compassion + more chances to win!

Tickets are available for purchase until September 11, 2026. The winner will be drawn on September 15, 2026. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!

  • 3 for $10
  • 20 for $25
  • 120 for $50
  • 300 for $75 (the best value and greatest chance to win)

Remember the more tickets you buy, the more chances you have to win!

Two Big Milestones, One Little Envelope

RUSSELL, ONTARIO, August 27, 2026 — Two milestones are about to intersect in Russell. The estimated jackpot has climbed to $295,000 — knocking on the $300,000 door — and the game’s all-time total for local charities is closing in on $8 million. One little envelope on Sunday could tip both.

Nineteen Sunday draws into the eighth edition of Catch the Ace, the Kin Club of Russell’s volunteers have watched the pot grow week after week — and this Sunday, someone takes home an estimated $13,000 weekly prize no matter what card their envelope hides.

The lottery is run entirely by volunteers, and the vast majority of every dollar raised stays close to home — supporting hospitals, food banks, youth programs, mental-health initiatives and dozens of other local causes across Prescott-Russell and the Ottawa region. More than $365,000 has already been raised for local charities this round alone.

Buy Tickets


Why It Works

The quiet magic of Catch the Ace is that everyone wins something. Half of every ticket goes straight to local charities; the rest builds the weekly prize and the ever-growing jackpot. So whether or not your envelope hides the Ace, your $10 is already doing good somewhere close to home.

“Every ticket purchased tells two stories,” said Catch the Ace Chair Doug Anthony. “There’s the excitement of the draw, and there’s the difference those sales make for charities right here in our community.”

The Kin Club of Russell has been supporting Eastern Ontario causes for decades — from CHEO and local hospitals to food banks, Special Olympics and neighbourhood projects. See the charities supported here.


How to Play

Buy a ticket and choose an envelope number from the 33 still in play. If your ticket is drawn, you win that week’s weekly prize. Your chosen envelope is then opened — and if it holds the Ace of Spades, you also take home the progressive jackpot. Each week the Ace stays hidden, another envelope is retired and the odds of finding it get a little better.

Tickets: $10 each, online at russellkincta.ca or at retail locations (Ontario only)
Online ticket deadline: Saturday, August 29 at 10:00 PM ET
Live draw: Sunday, August 30 at 3:15 PM ET
