OTTAWA It took more than 22 months, but a winner has finally been crowned from the Kin Club of Russell s Catch the Ace lottery. The lottery began Sept. 8, 2019 and lasted for 679 days, with a couple of pauses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On Sunday, 31-year-old Shawn Stephenson of Brockville took home the grand prize. When I got the phone-call, I was shaking so bad. The excitement, my nerves got to me, said Stephenson on Tuesday. His name was pulled from more than 50,000 tickets for the weekly prize of $51,529. He thought the ace of spades was hiding in envelope number 4. I picked envelope 4, thinking maybe envelope 4 was the lucky number, Stephenson said.
