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.
 7. Ticket are available online at AceChaser.com for an additional sales fee up until their stated cutoff time.
Ticket Purchasers of online tickets enter their name and phone number on the online order form. We will process the online sales before the draw, adding a ticket number and attaching 1/2 of the actual ticket for each ticket sold. 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.

8. Ticket are available on-site. If you purchase a ticket on-site but wish to leave before draw time, you must leave your ticket with sales personnel who will attach it to a sheet with your name and phone number. If you purchase a ticket on-site and wish to hold on to it, you must be present within 5 minutes of the Draw to win. If you leave and do not return within 5 minutes of the Draw, another ticket will be drawn and your ticket will be cancelled and you forfeit your rights to any prize. If you need to leave, leave your ticket behind with us or a trusted person.
9. Once sales are closed, a ticket is pulled and the winning ticket holder receives 20% of the weekly sales since the previous draw night.

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.
