✨ CHASE THE ACE – DRAW #23 RECAP ✨
Friday night at Branch 69 was buzzing as we rolled into the twenty‑third Chase the Ace draw on 07 August 2026 at 7:30 pm. The jackpot was sitting pretty at $35,385.00, with 30 cards left in the deck — getting real exciting now.
A big, sparkling congratulations to MEGHAN (MEG’S) NASON — our lucky winner of the evening! The Ace stayed hidden (we turned the 6 of Clubs), but Meghan still walked away with a sweet $1,269.00 consolation prize. Not a bad Friday night treat.
