The drive landed about 20' left of the bucket, rolled towards the cage and that's where it came to rest. Now to try and collect $5 from the witnesses...

If it rolled to that position, I'd say no ace to that shot based on the current rules. Here's the key line of the rule:

A disc observed by two or more players of the group or an official to have entered the target below the top of the tray or above the bottom of the chain support is not holed out.

By your description, it did not enter the target over the top of the tray. It rolled under the basket to its final position. A year ago, you might have had an argument for it being an ace. Now, unless you didn't see it get to where it was, and since you say it rolled, I'm assuming you saw it, it's not holed out yet.
