Ace of spades remains elusive as $2M up for grabs in Newfoundland draw
GOULDS, N.L. — The chase for the elusive ace of spades will continue next week at a church on the outskirts of St. John’s, N.L., with nine cards on the table.
Thousands converged on St. Kevin’s Parish church hall in Goulds on Wednesday as the Chase the Ace jackpot grew to more than $1.5 million.
Jason Wood drew an ace from the night’s 10 cards, but it was the ace of diamonds and he pocketed the consolation prize of $210,107. Had Wood selected the ace of spades, the main jackpot would have been worth $1,765,783.
Mark Mallay was the winner of night’s 50-50 draw and left with a cheque for $282,157.
