On the second draw of the night Marge Gorman of Conception Bay South put her finger on the card that won her more than $2.6 million. Ten months after St. Kevin's Parish started its unassuming lottery, crowds descended on Goulds to see the end of Chase the Ace fever. Tonight was the 44th week for the draw, which saw its popularity grow hand-in-hand with the jackpot over the summer. An exit strategy was devised ahead of the Aug. 23 draw; if the ace didn't go that night, the following week would be the last night.
