The CTA TRILOGY FINAL RESULTS
Our third CTA Progressive Lottery (which we have aptly named the CATCH THE ACE TRILOGY) has just concluded with our WEEK 23 Draw! JUDY CAMPBELL of RENFREW’s ticket was drawn in our Week 23 Draw and Judy had chosen Envelope #20. Envelope #20 revealed THE ACE OF SPADES!
JUDY CAMPBELL has won the WEEK 23 Weekly prize of $4,564.00 and the Progressive Jackpot of $97,928.00 for a TOTAL WINNINGS of $1012,492.00! We are excited for Judy and also excited to announce that our CTA TRILOGY raised $163,213.00 for RVH!
All of the funds raised during our Catch the Ace TRILOGY will be going towards the purchase of a new, state of the art, TOMOSYNTHESIS 3D MAMMOGRAPHY machine.
From a patient’s eye this new machine will all seem familiar with the exception of some improved comfort in the paddles that compress breast tissue.
Our screening mammograms will have similar workflows but for patients that require special views or are coming in with concerns (lump, discharge, etc.), they will undergo a tomographic mammogram. Basically a CT (or CAT scan) of the breast, providing 3Dimensional imaging that provides thin slices through the tissue allowing greater ability to find the smallest of calcifications. The breast is positioned the same way it is today but the XRay tube rotates while imaging, providing several cross-sectional images.
The improved imaging will be enhanced with additional biopsy capabilities. Stereotactic, tomographic and vacuum biopsy procedures will be able to be performed with the new suite. Patients requiring these procedures currently need to travel to Ottawa for them.
A wonderful advancement in technology and diagnoses, coming closer to home, with the help of our Catch the Ace Success!
A SINCERE THANK YOU to our wonderful CATCH THE ACE VENDORS who once again supported us by selling tickets for our CTA TRILOGY! We are so fortunate to have the support of so many of our local businesses.
Many folks have asked why we do not sell online or a combination of cash and online. The answer is, because we wish to continue with our vendors, physical tickets & Live in person draws (streamed via Facebook Live) we are not permitted to sell online as per AGCO licensing guidelines. We want to do everything we can to support our local vendors. When you are purchasing your ticket, take the time to support local.
For those unfamiliar with the CATCH THE ACE LOTTERY process… Here it is explained below
The lottery starts with 52 playing cards individually sealed in envelopes numbered 1 through 52. This process is videotaped for authenticity for AGCO. These envelopes are put on display in a locked case in the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation office. Nobody knows which envelope contains the Ace of Spades – until the lucky winner catches it!
When tickets are purchased, supporters will be asked to pre-select an envelope number on their ticket stub. The lucky weekly winner takes home 20% of that week’s ticket revenues and the envelope number selected on the ticket will be opened to reveal a playing card. If the card is not the Ace of Spades, the card will be destroyed and the lottery continues for another week. If the card is the Ace of Spades, the weekly winner also win the progressive jackpot! The progressive jackpot grows each week with 30% of weekly ticket sales revenue being added in.
