Deborah Capone moved to Carson Lake in 2017 after she fell in love with the area, and has been consistently buying Catch the Ace tickets over the years to support local healthcare needs.

She was certainly not expecting to win when she purchased her ticket online this time around. Deborah chose envelope #1 - her birthday - which revealed the three of clubs.

Although she didn't find the Ace of Spades, she's still taking home the weekly prize of $768. Deborah plans on buying herself a new shed for her garden this summer, and will be putting her winnings towards that.

Catch the Ace is a fundraising initiative of the St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation. Net proceeds help local healthcare partners purchase essential medical equipment and support services, ensuring care stays close to home when it’s needed most.

Be sure to get your ticket for the Week 8 draw, where the estimated weekly prize is $800 and the progressive jackpot is sitting at approximately $15,044. Find the Ace of Spades and win both for a total estimated prize of $15,844.

Get your tickets online at sfvhfcatchtheace.com or at any of the following locations:

♠ Whitney Pharmacy
♠ Round Lake Centre Food Market
♠ Round Lake Country Store

With the support of Madawaska Valley Hospice Palliative Care, Darryl Stoppa had been caring for his wife Jeanette at home throughout her illness.

As her needs became more complex, hospice provided comfort not only for Jeanette, but for those caring for her as well - allowing Darryl to step away from the role of caregiver and simply spend meaningful time with his wife during her final days.

“When Jeanette came to hospice, we were welcomed with open arms,” said Darryl. “The staff and volunteers made a very difficult time feel comforting and supportive.”

Did you know that funds raised from the upcoming butterfly release will go toward hospice palliative care services in the community?

Butterflies must be reserved by July 3rd, 2026. Order your butterfly by calling us at 613-756-3045 ext. 217 or online at http://weblink.donorperfect.com/Butterfly_Release
