Chase the Ace New Brunswick: Every Jackpot, October 2026
By Avery Chase Ellis · Last verified November 2, 2026 · Checked at the source
New Brunswick's Chase the Ace scene is wide and local: Legion branches, curling clubs, parishes, a ski co-op and a snowmobile club are all running weekly draws this fall, in English and in French. Here's where every New Brunswick game we track stands, read at each organiser's own website or Facebook page on October 29 and re-checked November 2.
New to the game? Our How it works page has the rules. In short: one ticket is drawn each week, that player picks a sealed envelope, and the progressive jackpot keeps growing until someone turns up the Ace.
Chaleur: an estimated $157,000 on November 3
The biggest pot in the province belongs to Chasse à l'As Chaleur – Chaleur Chase the Ace, run by the Catholic parishes of the Chaleur region (Pointe-Verte, Petit-Rocher, Beresford, Robertville, Bathurst and Allardville). The organiser's Facebook page estimates the jackpot for the Tuesday, November 3 draw at $157,000, up from the $132,000 it estimated a week earlier. Tickets are sold in person at the parish churches. The figure is the organiser's own estimate for the coming draw, not a confirmed payout. Details on our Chaleur listing.

Decks running low: the "Last Ace" games
Two New Brunswick games play a variation where several Aces are hidden in the deck and the big jackpot goes to whoever finds the last one.
- York County Sledders (run for the Nackawic Sno-Drifters, Millville Snowhawks and Southwest Snowmobilers clubs) is down to 4 cards, including the final 2 Aces. The club says the next Ace found pays an extra $1,500, and the final-Ace jackpot is "sitting over $33,000." Next draw: Tuesday, November 3. Listing.
- Atlantic Salmon Museum (Doaktown, with Legion Branch 23 and the Central NB Woodmen's Museum) found its third Ace on October 16 and lists $39,000 with 19 cards remaining. Its winner list hasn't been updated past October 16, so check the museum's page for the latest. Listing.
When half of the remaining envelopes hold an Ace, a drawn ticket has good odds of finding one. That says nothing about the chance your ticket is drawn in the first place, which depends on how many tickets are sold that week. Keep the two halves separate.
Smaller and newer games
- River Valley Chase the Ace (Hampton) is on game #3, with proceeds going to youth sports in Kennebecasis Valley, Hampton and Sussex. It shows $24,322 and 39 cards; its licence, NB Lottery License #1861769, is on the lodge's page.
- Bathurst Curling Club plays for the Ace of Hearts. Draw #5 on October 28 turned up the 5 of diamonds; the club estimates next week's jackpot at $12,500. Official page.
- 161 Air Cadets in Saint John posted a week-3 estimate of $8,000 on October 26, saying the jackpot has grown $2,000 a week. Official post.
- Chipman Chase the Ace draws Friday nights at the Chipman Legion; after the October 30 draw (round 12, draw 2) the organiser says the next jackpot is over $6,650, drawn Friday, November 6. Facebook page.
- Saint John Chase the Ace (Canada Games Aquatic Centre, Imperial Theatre and Saint John Arts Centre) draws Thursdays at 8 p.m. at the Market Square Atrium but doesn't post a running jackpot. Official page.
- Oromocto Minor Hockey draws Tuesdays at 7 p.m.; its rules say the game runs until the Ace of Spades is drawn or August 9, 2027. Rogersville Legion draws Thursdays; its October 29 result post lists a jackpot of $18,966.50 (not won, 22 cards remaining). Oromocto doesn't post a jackpot we can read. See the Oromocto and Rogersville listings.

In New Brunswick, ticket lotteries such as Chase the Ace are licensed through the province's Gaming Control Branch (Department of Justice and Public Safety). You need to be in New Brunswick to buy, and the games that publish an age rule, such as Saint John and Bathurst, set it at 19+. How each week's sales are split between the weekly winner, the progressive jackpot and the charity is set by each game's licence and rules, so read the rules of the game you're playing.
Every ticket is first a donation to a parish, Legion, club or museum. Set a budget before you buy, and don't raise it because a pot is growing. If gambling stops being fun, free and confidential help is available from New Brunswick's Gambling Information Line, 1-800-461-1234. Help lines for every province are on our responsible gambling page.
To follow these pots week by week, sort the full list of lotteries by jackpot or cards left, or sign up for the weekly jackpot email.
Play the Ace is an independent tracker. We don't sell tickets or run any of these lotteries. Always confirm jackpots, draw times and rules with the organiser before buying.
