The Huntsville Volunteer Fire Fighters Assoc. is a not for profit organization comprised of the members of Fire Station #1 in Huntsville. The Assoc. Was founded back in 1986 and since then, has conducted fundraising to raise funds to better our community. Over the past 35+ years we have donated close to $200,000 to the Town of Huntsville for firefighting equipment. Some examples of these donations include $100,000 to the Firehall Building Fund, $35,000 thermal imaging camera, $20,000 air filling station, $15,000 in rope rescue gear, $5,000 for a Rapid Deployment Craft for water rescues among many other items. We also feel it is important to support other local community groups, some of those include; Huntsville Legion, Huntsville Rotary, Huntsville Lions, Fairvern Nursing Home, Huntsville Hospital Foundation, The Door, Band on the Run – Dara’s Fund, Mayors Bike Ride, Bike Rodeo and most recently a donation of $5,000 to Hospice Huntsville Algonquin Grace Hospice. Other organizations who have received our support are Ronald McDonald House, Movember, Canadian Cancer Society. 

Thank you for supporting the Huntsville Volunteer Firefighters Assoc. Chase the Ace Lottery. You can be assured the funds raised will be donated for the betterment of our community.

What is

Catch the Ace?

Catch the Ace Lottery is a Progressive Lottery.

Each week tickets are sold for the opportunity to select the Ace of Spades from a deck of 52 regular playing cards. Prior to the draw, each of the 52 playing cards were placed in red envelopes. The envelopes were shuffled and numbered 1 to 52.

When tickets are purchased the buyer chooses an envelope number from a list of available numbers, then enters the number on their ticket.

Each week one ticket is drawn. The holder of that ticket automatically wins 20% of that week’s sales. The envelope number noted on the ticket is opened. If the card inside is not the Ace of Spades the card is destroyed and is no longer available for future draws. If the envelope selected is the Ace of Spades then the lottery is finished and the ticket holder wins the weekly prize plus the Ace of Spades pot.

Each week the Ace of Spades progressive pot grows by 30% of the weekly sales.
Each week the lucky winner of the draw receives 20% of the weekly sales.
