Tickets may be purchased by individuals 18 years or older and located in the Province of Ontario at the time of purchase.
Ticket orders are not solicited or accepted from persons outside Ontario.
Tickets are $5.00 each and are only available for purchase on-line.
For on-line purchase of e-tickets, the purchaser must:
Enter details, including name, email, contact information and select one valid envelope number (1 to 52) from the list of available numbers on the dropdown list.
Complete the secure payment process using a valid credit or debit card.
Tickets are only valid for the draw held during the week they were purchased.
Ticket holders do not need to be present at the draw to win.
The amount of the weekly draw prize and the progressive jackpot will be announced prior to each draw.
Details (name of purchaser, contact information and envelope # selected) of tickets purchased on-line will be printed after close of ticket sales at 1.00pm every Sunday.
The draw will take place each Sunday at 5.00pm at 51 Estate Drive, Scarborough, Ontario M1H 2Z2. All purchased tickets will be printed and entered individually in the drum. A member of the Catch the Ace Committee, or designate, will then randomly pick a ticket out of the drum. The envelope number shown on the ticket will be opened.
Distribution of weekly ticket sales revenue is as follows:
20% to the winning weekly ticket holder;
30% will be added to the progressive jackpot;
50% will go to Theatre Aurora.
The weekly winning ticket holder will win 20% of the weekly ticket sales, and the chance to win the current Catch the Ace jackpot.
If the drawn ticket does not have an envelope number or has an invalid number, the Theatre Aurora Catch the Ace Committee, or designate, will make one (1) attempt to contact the ticket holder at the phone number indicated on the ticket. The ticket holder will be asked to select a number from the remaining envelope numbers available and that card will be revealed. If unsuccessful in contacting the holder, the lowest remaining envelope number will be selected by the Theatre Aurora Catch the Ace Committee.
The winning ticket holder will be notified by phone and advised when and where they can claim their prize. Government issued photo identification will be required to claim any prize. All prizes will be paid by cheque, in Canadian funds, to the person named on the winning ticket.
If the envelope selected contains the Ace of Spades, the ticket holder receives the amount in the Catch the Ace progressive jackpot. This will conclude the series of draws for this raffle. If the envelope selected does not contain the Ace of Spades, the card will be destroyed, and the envelope number is removed from the subsequent draws.
All draws will be video recorded to ensure raffle integrity. This includes the drawing of the ticket, selection of the envelope, opening the envelope and revealing the card, and destruction of the card.
