Catch The Ace continues
Congratulations to Andrea Mock of Andrea’s Pet Salon in Barry’s Bay who won $3,659 in the Week #34 Catch The Ace draw. Her envelope #41 revealed a black ace – the Ace of Clubs – but it was the wrong suit for the big prize. The progressive jackpot in the St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation’s Catch The Ace lottery continues to build. The Weekly Prize for Week #35 is estimated at $3,472.00 and if the Ace of Spades is found, the Total Winnings will be around $108,904.00! All proceeds support Valley Manor Redevelopment.
