Speaker 1: Olympics of South Dakota. And you guys have a fun
Speaker 1: event coming up tonight and we're going to visit with Izzy.
Speaker 1: Tell me a little bit about what this event is
Speaker 1: and how people can be involved.
Speaker 2: Yes, So tonight is Chase the Ace. And what Chase
Speaker 2: the Ace is is a game of chance drawing. The
Speaker 2: game board starts with fifty four sealed envelopes, each containing
Speaker 2: a card from a standard deck and with the objective
Speaker 2: of finding the Ace of Spades nice Each week, patrons
Speaker 2: buy tickets and select a number on the game board
Speaker 2: that they think the Ace of Spades is under. Each week,
Speaker 2: we draw one ticket at seven thirty seven pm at tenners.
Speaker 2: No need to be present to win.
Speaker 1: Cool.
Speaker 2: If your ticket is drawn for the week, then we
Speaker 2: open the envelope with the number you selected on the
Speaker 2: game board. If it is not the Ace of Spades,
Speaker 2: then you win ten percent of that week's sales. If
Speaker 2: the eighths of spades is in the envelope, then you
Speaker 2: win fifty percent of the jackpot.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 2: We are on week five and the current jackpot stands
Speaker 2: at fifteen thousand, eight hundred and eighty three dollars.
Speaker 1: Wow, fifteen grand. That's awesome and that'll be growing today
Speaker 1: and by the time we have the drawing tonight, seven
Speaker 1: thirty seven. Is that what you said? Yes, how do
Speaker 1: we choose seven thirty seven?
Speaker 3: So seven thirty seven because it's memorable?
Speaker 1: There you go, it is memorable. I bet that was
Speaker 1: a marketing person that came up with that.
Speaker 3: Jill. Oh, it was our CEO actually, so I can't
Speaker 3: take credit.
Speaker 1: So now Izzy and Jill are with Special Olympics of
Speaker 1: South Dakota. Let's talk a little bit about what you
Speaker 1: do with the organization.

Speaker 3: Olympics as a whole? Yeah? Perfect, So Special Olympics Off Dakota.
Speaker 3: We have more than twenty seven hundred and fifty athletes
Speaker 3: across these eight and the sports we hold are year round.
Speaker 3: So right now we are in our basketball season, which
Speaker 3: is probably one of our more popular sports. Coming up
Speaker 3: in March, we have our state basketball tournament where probably
Speaker 3: more than eight hundred athletes will be participating in Mitchell.
Speaker 1: Oh it's in Mitchell, Okay. And so I went to
Speaker 1: one last year in Yankton. So the Yankton or Vermilion,
Speaker 1: it was the Yankton I think was that the state
Speaker 1: thing last year? That was a different tournament.
Speaker 3: That was a different tournament, that was our Southeast Area tournament.
Speaker 3: So that one's also very large as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we pulled in. I'm like, I didn't realize there'd

Speaker 2: means I'm on the fundraising side for special Olympics. So
Speaker 2: we throw together special events like Chaseace, like polar plunges,
Speaker 2: heroes polls, and with that, all of our funds are
Speaker 2: going back to local delegations and athletes across the state
Speaker 2: to support them in their year round sporting experience.
Speaker 1: I love that. And again, it's not just one person,
Speaker 1: it's a whole bunch of people working together to put
Speaker 1: all of these events and all of this stuff on.
Speaker 1: But everything that you guys do is so important because
Speaker 1: these little details make a big difference. And like I said,
