Your impact so far
Raised for Our Hearts at Home, the biggest campaign in the Foundation's history.
Construction is underwayIt's really happening.
There were times it felt like this day would never come. Our donors, families, local businesses and volunteers were the first to step forward, knowing heart surgery close to home wasn't just a dream. It was something we needed.
This isn't the end of the story. It's the beginning of something that will change healthcare across Northwestern Ontario. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Construction underwayCardiac surgery, right here at home
Every ticket helps build the Cardiovascular Surgery Program at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. Patients who once travelled more than 10 hours to Toronto for heart surgery will soon get world-class care in Thunder Bay. Construction is underway. Let's finish what we started.
Pick an envelope. Catch the Ace.
One winner every Tuesday, and a jackpot that keeps growing until someone finds the Ace of Spades.
Buy tickets & pick an envelope
Get your tickets for this week's draw and choose one of 52 sealed envelopes. Each one holds a playing card.
We draw a winner every Tuesday
At 9:00 AM one ticket is drawn. That winner takes home the weekly prize and gets their chosen envelope opened.
Find the Ace, win it all
If the envelope holds the Ace of Spades, the winner also takes the progressive jackpot. If not, the jackpot grows and we play again next week.
Where every dollar goes
Let's heal Our Hearts at Home
The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation's Our Hearts at Home Campaign is the driving fundraising force behind bringing Cardiovascular Surgery to Northwestern Ontario. Half of every ticket goes straight to the campaign.
The Ace of Spades is still out there.

Questions? We've got answers.
What is Catch the Ace?
Catch the Ace is a progressive jackpot raffle. Every week you have a chance to win the Weekly Prize, and the Weekly Prize winner also gets a shot at the Progressive Jackpot. The game continues every week until the Ace of Spades is found.
How are the Weekly Prize and Jackpot calculated?
The Weekly Prize is 20% of that week's ticket sales. The Progressive Jackpot is 30% of all ticket sales over the whole game, with a guaranteed minimum of $25,000. Net proceeds support the Our Hearts at Home Campaign.
How much are tickets?
2 tickets for $5, 5 tickets for $10, 25 tickets for $20, or 100 tickets for $50. Tickets are delivered by email after purchase.
Do I pick an envelope for every ticket?
You pick one envelope per order, no matter how many tickets are in it. To choose more envelopes, place separate orders.
Who can play?
You must be 18 or older and physically located in Ontario when you buy. Make sure location services are turned on so your location can be verified. Tickets can't be bought on behalf of a minor.
What are the odds of finding the Ace?
The odds of picking the envelope with the Ace of Spades start at 1 in 52 and improve every week as envelopes are removed from the game. Your odds of winning the Weekly Prize depend on how many tickets are sold that week.
Is there a winner every week?
Yes. A Weekly Prize winner is drawn every week using a random number generator. Only that winner's envelope is opened for the Jackpot.
How will I know if I won?
Winners are contacted by phone and/or email, and winning numbers are posted on this site after each draw. Prizes must be claimed within six months of the draw.
