Ticket Purchasers of advance tickets write their name and phone number on the ’sign-up sheets’, including ditto marks on successive lines (“) for multiple ticket purchases. We will process the sheets before the draw, adding a ticket number and attaching 1/2 of the actual ticket to the sheet. The matching half of the ticket goes in the draw barrel.
If you wish to see your ticket, you may do so after the draw is complete. Please let personnel know before the draw occurs if you want to see it on Draw Night, or by mutually agreed time within 2 weeks after the Draw Time.
10. 30% of sales go to increase the pot (the remaining 50% of sales, minus expenses, goes to the charities (NL Complex and NLFC)).
11. The winning ticket holder (or usually the Fire Chief in the ticket holder’s absence) pulls a card from the deck of cards. If the Ace of Spades is pulled, they win the pot.
12. If the Ace of Spades is not pulled by the winning ticket holder, the pulled card is removed and destroyed, and the remaining deck is kept secure until next week. Week after week the remaining deck gets smaller and thus the chances to pull the Ace of Spades are greater.
13. Tickets are sold for cash only; winners may receive prize money by electronic transfer, check, or cash, at the discretion of the organizers.
Chase The Ace is on for tonight (Friday) from 7:30 to 9:00pm at the New London Community Complex. The pot is estimated to be $35,700 plus the weekly winner is estimated to get over $1,000. Come on down and win some money!
