Have you heard the exciting news? The Lloyd Ex has brought back Chase the Ace for a seventh-round with this week’s jackpot at $26,314.
Ken Carriere got the ball rolling in last week’s inaugural draw as he took home $876 as the first weekly winner.
As always, the weekly draw will take place Wednesday evening at the Ex. Tickets are $10 for one, $25 for three, $50 for eight or $100 for 20.
Each week, 20 per cent of weekly ticket sales are won by the weekly winner, 30 per cent goes into the growing jackpot, and 50 per cent goes to the Lloydminster Agricultural Exhibition Association.
Funds from this round of Chase the Ace will support capital projects at the Ex such as a new grandstand and indoor agriculture facility.
With 51 cards remaining in the deck, the jackpot will continue to grow until someone draws the Ace of Hearts.
Tickets are available online at www.lloydex.com/chase-the-ace, or via e-transfer to chasetheace@lloydex.com, the password MUST be: CTA2024. E-transfers must include name, phone number and email address or they will be declined. The cut-off for e-transfer tickets is noon on Wednesdays.
Tickets are also available in person at the Ex from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Contestants do not need to be in attendance to win – a designated proxy will act on behalf of the winner each week if the winner can’t make it to the draw within 15 minutes.
