Catch the Ace
After 46 weeks in the game, we need to acknowledge something special about Catch the Ace. Tickets sales are motivated from the stories of our winners, not just the promotion of the pot. Yana Z. for example buys her OFAH tickets every week but only after she takes time to read the profile of
It all started in 1974… Like you, tens of thousands of Federation members have, at one time, clicked a fridge magnet over top of the receipt-end of an OFAH ticket stub.

Last week, Sherry Chambers let her daughter in on a nice opportunity she’s been chasing online. “So, I’ve been playing this (Catch the) Ace game every week,” Sherry explained to her second-oldest, Brandy. “Give me $20 and I’ll buy 200 tickets for $40 for the next draw, and if I win, we’ll split it.”

However, Ryan’s enforcement badge was earned long after he earned the OFAH volunteer badge of conservation dedication. He made his first OFAH donation (to the former wild turkey fund) when he was just
Life demands your attention on the daily to-do list. But we thought it was time you were recognized for everything you did not have to do. You didn’t have to open this blog. You didn’t have to care when conservation organizations needed your help. You didn’t have to be an OFAH member or donor.
On Sunday April 25, Roxanne Pickering, of Sudbury picked up on a special sign. “Signs, signs everywhere there’s signs” – was the actual song lyrics playing on Roxanne’s Spotify playlist as she was scrolling through her Facebook newsfeed. That is when she stopped at the OFAH sponsored ad for Catch the Ace. “The logo made
Irish eyes are smiling on Leo McGinty today. Appropriately on St. Patrick’s Day, the dedicated OFAH member of nearly 30 years has even more reasons to be proud of his Irish roots and outdoor heritage. Mr. McGinty, with the luck of the Irish and a rich Irish surname too, is the first winner of the
