Wildly popular Chase the Ace draw to fold early if elusive card not drawn
GOULDS, N.L. — Newfoundland’s wildly popular Chase the Ace saga will soon fold.
The province has approved an exit date of Aug. 30 if the winning card is not drawn next Wednesday at a church on the outskirts of St. John’s, N.L.
Lineups for last Wednesday’s draw began overnight at the St. Kevin’s Parish hall in Goulds for a jackpot that reached $1.7 million.
Firefighter Jason Wood drew the ace of diamonds for a consolation prize of just over $210,000 — leaving nine cards left.
