La Broquerie Helping Hands, a food bank organization located approximately 60 kilometers southeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba, is hosting a chase the ace fundraiser that has reached a jackpot of $224,070. This initiative began last year to help fund essential items like milk and bread for the community's food bank. Jocelyn Gauthier, a board member, expressed surprise at the fundraiser's growth, which has significantly impacted their ability to support local families. Currently, the organization provides food hampers to 95 families, a notable increase from the 35 families they initially assisted. The fundraiser operates by allowing participants to purchase lottery tickets, with the chance to draw from a deck of cards. If the ace of spades is drawn, the jackpot is won. As ticket sales have surged, especially since February, tickets regularly sell out. The next draw is scheduled for Thursday night at 8 p.m. at the La Broquerie hotel, with nine cards remaining, including the ace of spades. If the ace is not drawn, the final draw before the summer break will occur on May 28.
