PICK THE ACE TO WIN
Attract a new kind of donor with the Ascend Catch the Ace Program. Weekly Draws and a growing Progressive Jackpot join hands to deliver amazing results in a longer running program that's perfect for more sophisticated markets.
The Ascend Catch the Ace Program is perfect for when you want a longer-running program in a more sophisticated and crowded market.
Running for up to 52 weeks, this program adds the excitement of picking a card from a standard 52-card deck along with buying a raffle ticket.
The Catch the Ace has driven some of our largest jackpots, with life-changing amounts of money for the winner - and massive donation revenues for your charity.
The Ascend Catch the Ace Program is very easy to run. You don't need a big investment to start out, and after a few weeks you have donation revenue that you can use to run the program. Most of our Catch the Ace Programs become self-sufficient after the first four or five weeks.
How does our Catch The Ace program work?
Ascend's Customer Success team helps you get the necessary licenses, merchant accounts and other logistics in place
Your Catch the Ace Program launches after a few weeks of pre-launch announcements and teasers
Email, Social Media and Paid Media drive traffic to your custom landing page
The landing page drives curiosity and engagement with a brand new way to play
If the weekly winner hasn't picked the Ace of Spades, 30% of the weekly sales are rolled into the next weeks' pot, with 20% going to the winner and 50% to your charity
The jackpot can grow very quickly - more and more people buy tickets as the weeks pass and more cards are revealed, increasing their chances of picking the Ace of Spades
The program can run for up to 52 weeks, and many run for 30+ weeks, generating huge net sales
50% of weekly ticket sales are your net proceeds, less credit card processing and Ascend fees

Right from the start we received excellent customer service from Ascend. They have a great team that works with you not for you and we could not be happier with the results!
Catch the Ace is helping the OFAH achieve two priorities: online engagement and online fundraising. The game is exciting and Ascend is so easy to work with to increase support for our conservation cause
Working with Ascend has been a great experience. I have very high expectations for myself when it comes to building out programs and must admit I was impressed with the quality of work and effort put in by the Ascend team – especially their web designers.
This is an exciting time for us. The program has also given us something else that we love about our jobs once a month, after each draw, we get to call someone and change their life.
