For more than a year and a half, the ace of spades has remained hidden in the Kin Club of Russell’s Catch the Ace fundraiser lottery.
The fundraiser for six local charities began before the start of the pandemic and has been paused three times due to stay-at-home orders and lockdowns.
It is now back up and running and the growing jackpot sits at $400,000 dollars.
Of the deck of 52 cards, seven remain.
The lottery has so far raised $600,000 dollars for charities in the area.
Russell Township Mayor Pierre Leroux says, “It just shows the amount of community spirit we have here, adding when we need to pull together, we pull together.”
The draw takes place on Sunday at 3:15 p.m. live on the Russell Kin Club’s Facebook page.
