“We are thrilled with the community’s response to HSLM’s Catch the Ace! Not being able to host our signature community events, we searched for a way to fundraise while providing a fun and engaging event. Catch the Ace is just that! It is incredible to see the jackpot reach over $150,000, and with that tricky Ace still hiding, we hope to keep this momentum going and keep that jackpot growing!"said Executive Director Steve Ryall in a statement.
He added, "Every player can feel good knowing they are helping to provide care and hope to pets in need. With over 250 animals in our shelter each day, purchasing your ticket means that a shelter pet is winning their lottery by getting the support they deserve.”
