There isn’t a better time to buy tickets for Chase the Ace Rider Edition raffle presented by Viterra as the jackpot has hit a whopping $105,000.
The Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation raffle is in its second season and has already awarded $68,000 in weekly prizes since it began in December. In its first season, money raised by Chase the Ace – Rider Edition helped the Foundation distribute more than $380,000 in funding to Saskatchewan Amateur Football Programs and Mental Health Charities working with Youth and Children sports programs.
“Our Chase the Ace raffle is getting more and more exciting with fewer cards in play and the odds of winning the jackpot going up,” said Cindy Fuchs, Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation. “However, the real winner in all of this is the youth of our province, who will benefit greatly from the funds raised by this interactive program.”
Proceeds from Chase the Ace – Rider Edition go to the Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation and the programs it supports including the Northern Saskatchewan Football League, Amateur Football, Kids Help Phone and other youth-focused health, mental health, sport and education initiatives.
For those new to this type of raffle, each week, one person’s name is drawn, automatically winning the weekly jackpot and a chance to select the Ace of Spades, represented in the deck by Cody Fajardo. If the weekly winner draws the Fajardo card, they win the grand prize jackpot – now valued at more than $100,000.
The lottery is now in its 19th week with 33 cards left. Fans wishing to be a part of this week’s draw are able to purchase tickets up until 4 p.m. Friday, April 1.
Tickets go on sale every Friday at 5:00pm for the following week’s draw. Sales continue throughout the week upping the weekly prize and the jackpot until 4:00 pm the following Friday. At 4:30, winners are announced on CKRM and riderville.com/foundation and the draw can be viewed on the Foundation Facebook page live. After the draw, the process starts all over again.
Fans can buy one ticket for $10, 10 tickets for $25, 50 tickets for $50 or 200 for $100 tickets. A subscription service is also available to guarantee you’ll be entered into the draw every week. If the raffle sells out without the Fajardo Ace being pulled, the winner could win a total prize of over $1 million.
