Nova Scotia Railmen Softball Chase the Ace is a licensed Chase the Ace charity lottery in Pictou County (The Buffalo Club), Nova Scotia, raising money for Nova Scotia Railmen Softball Team (local women's softball). About the cause: Tuesday-night Chase the Ace run by the Railmen softball team at The Buffalo Club; jackpot starts at $5,000. 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?
7 drawn · 45 still in the deck, one of them the Ace of Spades.
Each unopened envelope has a 1-in-45 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.
