What is Chase the Ace?

Chase the Ace is a form of lottery that has gained popularity since 2013 in parts of Canada as a way to raise funds for charities. It is also known as Crown the King and Jig the Joker.[1]

The jackpot accumulates from week-to-week until it is won, and the game is then over. Each week participants buy lottery tickets. The funds from ticket sales are divided into three parts. Typically the organizers keep 50%, the winner of the lottery takes 20% and 30% goes into the jackpot. The lottery winner also then draws a card from a deck of playing cards and wins the accumulated jackpot if the ace of spades is drawn. If not, the reduced deck is kept for the following week's game.

How Chase the Ace is played:

Usually one day a week over 2-3 hours tickets are sold for the raffle at a set location
The winner usually receives about 20% of the draw from that day.
Holder of the winning ticket must be present to claim the prize
If nobody comes forward within a certain amount of time, the number is disqualified and a new draw is made.
The winner of the draw, receives a chance to win the cumulative "card jackpot"...which is around 30% of all previous weekly sales.
The draw winner cuts the deck of cards and if he/she draws the ace of spades, they win the "card jackpot" as well.
If the ace of spades is not drawn, the selected card is destroyed and the 30% goes back into the prize pot for next week's draw.
The Contest continues with the same deck of cards until the ace of spades is drawn.
No limit on the number of tickets that can be sold for a draw

Here is what an online Chase the Ace might look like:

Sales are open all week long. People can buy their tickets at home or on their mobile device.
Tickets are still available using an electronic ticketing terminal at the draw location, on the draw date for a prescribed amount of time.
Jackpot information is available on display at the event and on mobile phones.
The winner is phoned and has 1 hour to get to the draw location and cut the deck.

By allowing chase the ace sales to go online, you have cut back on the charities needs for volunteers as the onsite sales process has greatly been mitigated. You have also increased your marketing reach and started a database of players for future raffles.
