After 45 weeks, and with only eight cards left on the table, the Niverville Multiplex fundraising committee has finally declared a winner of its Chase the Ace contest.
On Wednesday, November 22 at Hespeler’s Tavern in Niverville, Kim Dubell pulled the ace of spades and claimed a prize of $4,033.40.
The contest began in October 2016, taking a break over the busy summer months. Resuming in September, the pot had grown to $2,354.80 and continued to grow each week from a portion of the nightly sales. For a chance to draw the ace off the top of the deck, participants purchased tickets for $2.
As the lucky winner, Dubell took home half of the total pot, with the other half going to the multiplex fundraising efforts.
“Thanks to all of our volunteers for coming out each Wednesday evening and to the Heritage Centre and Hespeler’s Tavern & Cookhouse for the space to host this fun event,” says Heather Miller, who helped organize Chase the Ace.
