Another winner went home with the Chase the Ace jackpot after Sharon Pierrepont picked the Ace of Spades in the Royal Canadian Legion Br. 39 Swan River Chase the Ace fundraiser on Feb. 3. With eight cards remaining to choose from, Pierrepont walked away with a bonus of $35,490. Pierrepont said she plays fairly regularly and has not yet decided what to do with her windfall. A representative from Swan River’s Legion said that the Chase the Ace fundraiser – along with the meat draw that runs alongside it – brings in substantial funds from the club that allows for numerous upgrades to the Legion clubroom. In the last few years alone, the Chase the Ace funds will enable the Swan River Legion to upgrade to a brand new serving area, new flooring, a kitchen upgrade, and other building upgrades. The funds from the weekly meat draw has provided opportunity to purchase a new glass washer, new chairs, a refurbishment of the pool tables and a new TV and lounging area. The Swan River Legion Chase the Ace is held every Saturday, with a jackpot of $10,243 available with 53 cards to draw on Feb. 17.
