The second edition of LOTO+, the Ace of Hearts game run by the Fondation Hôpital Charles-LeMoyne on Montréal's South Shore, is over. The foundation's site now congratulates the winner and says the game will be back at the start of December. Here's what it has published, and the decks elsewhere in Canada that are now closest to their Ace.

What LOTO+ has published

The announcement on lotoplus.ca, read November 9, says:

Winner	Jessica M., whom the foundation describes as an employee of the hospital
Card	the Ace of Hearts, found in envelope no. 49
Prize	$22,591 in total, made up of the $21,105 cumulative jackpot and the $1,486 weekly pot, as itemised by the foundation
What's next	"LOTO+ revient début décembre" (LOTO+ returns in early December). The site has an email sign-up for the launch notice; no start date is given yet.

The page doesn't print the date of the winning draw. When we last read the game before the win, on November 5, it was selling week 9 of edition 2, with a jackpot of $20,979 and the draw set for Thursday, November 5 at 12:30 p.m. By our next reading, on November 9, the store had been replaced by the winner announcement.

The foundation also notes that across 15 weeks of play, more than $56,000 in prizes has been paid out, which it says is already more than a full year of its previous lottery. That covers both LOTO+ editions; the first edition ended with a $16,572 win before this one started in the fall.

Who it supports

LOTO+ raises money for Hôpital Charles-LeMoyne in Greenfield Park (Longueuil). The foundation says half of net proceeds go to care at the hospital. The game is licensed by Quebec's Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux under licence L-06108, and its published structure sends 20% of each week's sales to the weekly winner and 30% to the jackpot. That split is LOTO+'s own; other Chasse à l'As games in Quebec use different ones.

The listing stays on our site as an ended round, on the LOTO+ page and our Recently caught list, and we'll add the third edition once the foundation opens it. For the rest of the province's games, see the Quebec Chasse à l'As page and our October Quebec roundup.

Decks to watch this week

Three games we track are now close to the end of their deck, as of our latest readings:

York County Sledders Chase the LAST Ace (NB)	3 cards left, one of them the final Ace, with the final-Ace jackpot "over $35,000," per the club's Facebook post read November 9. Next draw Tuesday, November 10. This game holds all four Aces and pays its main jackpot on the last one; our earlier story explains how. Listing
Hospice Niagara Catch the Ace (ON)	$88,065 progressive jackpot for week 44, draw Thursday, November 12 at 3 p.m. (catchtheaceniagara.ca, read November 9). About 9 cards* left. Listing
Chase the Ace Miscouche (PE)	estimated jackpot $52,000 with 10 cards remaining, next draw Saturday, November 14 at the Miscouche Legion (miscouchechasetheace.com, read November 9). Listing

*Hospice Niagara doesn't publish a cards-left count. 9 is calculated from its published week (week 44 on sale, so 43 envelopes opened) and its rules (52-card deck, one envelope per draw), the same method marked with an asterisk on our site.

A small deck improves only one half of the odds. If your ticket is drawn at York County, there's a 1-in-3 chance the envelope holds the final Ace. The other half is whether your ticket is drawn at all, which depends on how many tickets sell that week, and none of these organisers publish that number. Short decks tend to sell more tickets, so that half can get longer as the deck gets shorter. Our How it works page walks through both.

The biggest pots in the country haven't moved hands: Loto Dame de Cœur in Gatineau showed $6,469,910 for week 23 on November 9, and Russell Catch the Ace in Ontario an estimated $545,000 for week 31.

Licensing and playing responsibly

Quebec card lotteries are licensed by the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux (RACJ); LOTO+ prints its licence number on its site. Tickets are for players 18 and over, and online sellers like LOTO+ generally require you to be physically in Quebec when you buy. Elsewhere, age limits (18+ or 19+) and eligibility follow each province's regulator and each lottery's rules.

Treat a ticket as a donation with a chance attached, set a budget first, and don't raise it because a pot is growing. If gambling stops being fun, free and confidential help is available: in Quebec, Jeu : aide et référence, 1-800-461-0140 (aidejeu.ca); in Ontario, ConnexOntario, 1-866-531-2600; in New Brunswick, the Gambling Information Line, 1-800-461-1234; in Prince Edward Island, the Gambling Support Line, 1-855-255-4255. Help lines for every province are on our responsible gambling page.

Play the Ace is an independent tracker. We don't sell tickets or run any of these lotteries. Always confirm details with the organiser before buying.
