OTTAWA 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 had to be put on pause 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. “It is all anyone is talking about Catch the Ace! This lottery has taken the entire township and the entire province by storm,” says Doug Anthony with the Kin Club of Russell.
