There was a great sense of anticipation in the air inside the Neepawa Royal Canadian Legion building on Friday, Feb. 9, as a near capacity crowd eagerly awaited the results of the weekly Chase the Ace (CTA) draw. And after 47 weeks of build up, that elusive ace of spades was finally tracked down, as Danny Schmidtke of Erickson found the correct card.

Though those odds were long, they were still more than enough for him to uncover the ace and win the big prize of $37,097.
