Thousands of people are expected in Sydney on Saturday for the Chase the Ace draw hosted by the Ashby Legion and the Horizon Achievement Centre.

Here are five things you need to know about this week's draw.

Big jackpot

The jackpot is estimated to be $1.9 million.

Traffic is also expected to be heavy around each of the ticket venues.
