Northside 4 Chase the Ace is a licensed Chase the Ace charity lottery in North Sydney, Nova Scotia, raising money for Seaview Golf Club, Northern Yacht Club Jr. Sail and other Northside groups. Here's the current jackpot, how many cards are left and when the draws happen, checked against the organiser’s own Facebook page.
How close is the Ace?
13 drawn · 39 still in the deck, one of them the Ace of Spades.
Each unopened envelope has a 1-in-39 chance of being the Ace. That's separate from your chance of having your ticket drawn, which depends on how many tickets are sold that week. A small deck doesn't make your ticket more likely to win.
