Catch the Ace reaches historical jackpot
Week 28 Catch the Ace winner Tracy Johns at the Royal Canadian Legion in Barrie. Tue., June 10, 2025. Forget catching a fish, a cold or a baseball this week. The only thing you're going to want to catch is an ace, worth about $325,000. Barrie's Legion's Catch the Ace lottery is entering its 31st week with an estimated jackpot of more than $305,000. In addition to the weekly prize of $20,000, a lucky person could draw the envelope that holds the missing ace. Legion members point out this is the largest jackpot in its history, as well as the largest payout in southern Ontario. And to prove luck has everything to do with it, last week's winner, Charlie Heise of Barrie, walked away with a weekly prize of $15,923; after already having one a weekly prize in February 2024. The draw takes place every Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 147 on St. Vincent St. and is also streamed live on Facebook. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased in person at the Barrie Legion or online at Local charities benefit from the draws thanks to a partnership between Royal Canadian Legion Branch 147 and the Rotary Club of Barrie.
