SickKids Catch the Ace is a licensed Catch the Ace charity lottery in Toronto, Ontario, raising money for SickKids Foundation. About the cause: Half of ticket sales to SickKids. 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?
2 drawn · 50 still in the deck, one of them the Ace of Spades.
Each unopened envelope has a 1-in-50 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.
