How does the lottery work?
At the Navy League Building, on display will be 52 playing cards individually sealed in envelopes. These envelopes are numbered from 1 through 52. Nobody knows which envelope contains the Ace of Spades until the lucky winner catches it.
Purchase your tickets for $5 each. When you purchase your ticket, on your stub, you will be asked to preselect an envelope number.
If you are the lucky weekly winner you win 20% of that week’s ticket revenues and the numbered envelope you selected on your ticket will be opened to reveal a card. If the card is not the Ace of Spade, the card will be destroyed and the lottery continues for another week.
If the card is the Ace of Spade, you win the progressive jackpot too! The progressive jackpot grows each week with the 30% of the weekly ticket sales revenue being added in.
