% to winner: The progressive raffle will be split 50/50 between the winner and the licensee. All expenses will come out of the licensee’s cut. However, consolation prices will come out of the jackpot. Posted jackpot does not represent the total pot but represents the winnable amount when the Queen of Hearts is discovered. 

How the “Queen of Hearts” works: A standard deck of 54 cards (including Jokers) will be utilized. A game board with 54 cards will be placed in envelopes numbered 1– 54, in a sealed-locked case. When a ticket is drawn, the number on the ticket will determine the envelope (card) to be revealed. 

Winning card: The winning card will be the Queen of Hearts for the duration of this game. 

Only one envelope will be drawn upon each drawing date, unless it is the last drawing date, at which point, a ticket will continue to be drawn until the Queen of Hearts is discovered. If the Queen of Hearts is not revealed a consolation prize is awarded. 


Do not have to be present to win. On every ticket, the buyer will have the ability to request what numbered envelope they would like to open if they are not present. Should the buyer not identify an envelope number, or the numbered envelope has been previously drawn, the lowest number envelope that has not been opened will be selected.
