Catch The Ace Jackpot keeps growing
Brad Laundry took home $5,629 on Oct. 29 when his ticket was drawn as the Week #40 winner in St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation’s Catch The Ace lottery. Laundry’s ticket did not reveal the Ace of Spades, so tickets for this Thursday’s draw are still on sale throughout the Valley. Your ticket could win you an estimated Weekly Prize of $5,204 and if your chosen number finds the Ace of Spades the Progressive Jackpot of $150,588 is added to your winnings. This means you could be richer by an estimated $155,792. Lottery proceeds go to Valley Manor Redevelopment.
