Store owner wins Catch the Ace Week 22 prize

Jerome Brotton has won the Week 22 prize in St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation’s Catch the Ace lottery.

Brotton, the owner of The Mayflower store in Barry’s Bay, won $1,397. But when he turned over a card, the ace of spades was not found so the lottery continues.

The Week 23 prize is estimated at $1,500 and if the ace of spades turns up a jackpot that’s now nearing $35,000 will be won.  Tickets, for $5, are being sold at several Madawaska Valley-area stores. 

Each week, a portion of sales goes to a weekly prize and another portion is put into the jackpot. And another portion of the funds go towards health care.
