Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation Catch the Ace (Ottawa Cancer Lottery) is a licensed Catch the Ace charity lottery in Ottawa, Ontario, raising money for Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Here's the current jackpot, how many cards are left and when the draws happen, checked against the lottery’s official website.

How close is the Ace?

0 drawn · 52 still in the deck, one of them the Ace of Spades.

Each unopened envelope has a 1-in-52 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.

How Catch the Ace works

1
Buy a ticket
Pick one of the numbered envelopes still in play. Each hides one card from a 52-card deck.
2
One ticket is drawn
That ticket wins the weekly prize.
3
Open the envelope
The Ace of Spades wins the progressive jackpot and ends the round. Any other card is removed and the jackpot keeps growing.

Prize splits vary by licence and are set in the official rules. Full guide: how Catch the Ace works.
