Niagara Falls resident wins “Catch the Ace” jackpot of $900,000

A 50-year-old Niagara Falls resident is $900,000 richer.

Cedric Olah, who works as a maintenance facilities technician at Brock University, won the $44,598 Weekly Prize and the $869,526 Progressive Jackpot for a total of $914,124.

The money is from SickKids Foundation’s Online “Catch the Ace” raffle.

The raffle launched this past January and has paid out cash prizes to more than 29 supporters throughout Ontario.

Fifty percent of weekly ticket sales go to SickKids Foundation and support the SickKids VS: Limits campaign.

“This has just changed my life,” an excited Olah said. “I played my lucky numbers and am so excited to win. It hasn’t fully set in yet.”

Olah says he’s considering entering the real estate market with his winnings.
