There has been a constant flow of people in and out of the legion today. Thousands of tickets have already been sold.

The Catch the Ace progressive jackpot is a draw every week for 52 weeks. A name is pulled every Thursday and someone wins the weekly jackpot but so far no one has won the big progressive jackpot. In order for that to happen the weekly winner must pick a number that matches the envelope with the ace inside.

Right now they’re at week 39 which means there are fewer cards and the odds of winning go up.
