by Someone will have a chance at an estimated 1.9 million dollar jackpot when the Ashby Legion’s Chase the Ace draw resumes next weekend. Pam Lesnick, of Sydney, was yesterday’s winning ticket holder and drew the Queen of Hearts, winning over $263,000. With 7 cards left in the deck, the jackpot winner will almost certainly take home more money than the $1.7 million won at the Chase the Ace draw in Inverness in October. Eight Sydney vendors reported a total of over $877,000 in ticket sales for yesterday’s draw. Proceeds go to the Ashby Legion and the Horizon Achievement Centre.
