Black Hills Ace is designed as a fully online fundraising raffle that allows supporters to participate from anywhere in South Dakota.
Tickets can be purchased through secure online links shared through:
• Social media posts and promotions
• Text messages
• QR codes displayed at events, meetings, and participating businesses
• Direct links shared by supporters with friends, family, and coworkers
Supporters can choose from several ticket bundle options designed for both casual participants and weekly players.
Every ticket purchase receives unique raffle entries generated by the Dakota Jackpots raffle system. Entry numbers are automatically delivered by email and can also be viewed through your customer account dashboard.
Because all ticket sales are processed online, supporters can participate anytime during the sales period without needing to attend an event or be present during a drawing.
We encourage participants to follow the Dakota Jackpots on social media and subscribe to organization newsletters for ticket purchase links, jackpot updates, winner announcements, and opportunities to share the raffle with others.
Every ticket purchased helps support scholarships, workforce development, housing initiatives, youth programs, and other community projects throughout the Black Hills region.
One winning entry is selected live each week. The remaining cards are randomly assigned to the remaining envelopes, and the winning entry’s envelope determines the outcome.
Each ticket bundle sold contains a designated envelope assignment. After the winning ticket is selected, the system determines whether the winning participant possesses the envelope containing the Ace of Spades.
• The winner receives half of the total pot.
• A second drawing is immediately conducted using all cumulative entries issued throughout the game.
• The winner of this second drawing receives the current weekly pot.
• The Ace remains in play.
• The weekly jackpot is paid.
• The Chase The ACE Total continues to grow.
• Additional ticket sales are added to future prize pools.
• The next drawing takes place the following Thursday.
As the game progresses, participants have the opportunity to accumulate entries while competing for an increasingly valuable jackpot.
Dakota Jackpots will host public drawing events, livestreams, or promotional gatherings that highlight winners, jackpot growth, and community impact.
These events are intended to enhance engagement and transparency while providing supporters an opportunity to connect with the organization and learn more about the programs their participation supports.
Regardless of whether a drawing is conducted during a public event or through the certified computerized system, every eligible entry has exactly the same opportunity to win.
