Ticket purchasers are asked to select the number of an envelope and record that number in the allotted space on the ticket. All tickets purchased will be kept in a container and secured when sales are complete; then transferred to a rolling drum for the draw.
The designated member in charge will choose the lowest numbered envelope available in the event of the following circumstances:
The ticket holder did not indicate an envelope number on the stub.
An envelope number is not available as it was previously drawn.
Number chosen is not clearly legible and ticket holder cannot be contacted for verification.
Catch the Ace is a progressive draw. The weekly winning ticket is paid 20% of total weekly sales, plus the chance at the progressive pot. The progressive pot is the cumulative total of 30% of each week of sales up to and including the week when the Ace of Spades is selected.
A standard deck of 52 playing cards shall be sealed in individual, identical opaque envelopes and numbered 1 through 52. Envelopes will be stored in a locked cupboard on public display.
Once the Ace of Spades has been chosen, the event and licence are concluded. The remaining cards for that draw will be kept then destroyed 30 days later.
If winner of ticket is not present, they will be called and arrangements will be made for payment. Winnings will be paid by cheque.
All draws will be video recorded to ensure raffle integrity. This includes the drawing of the ticket, selection of the envelope, opening the envelope and revealing the card.
