QUEEN OF HEARTS – RULES OF THE GAME
1. To begin, 54 playing cards including two jokers are placed in sealed envelopes, face down on a mounting board purchased from a certified gaming vendor; the envelopes are numbered one (1) through fifty four (54). The game board will be displayed in the Social Quarters, with the QUEEN OF HEARTS as the "Jackpot Card".
2. Any good standing Home member of the Moose 1594 is eligible to play.
3. Tickets are $1.00 per chance with no limit on the number of tickets purchased. Tickets can be purchased immediately after the drawing up to the time of the next drawing. There can be only one name per ticket. Write your name and the number of the available card you're requesting (in case you're not present; otherwise, a card will be selected for you) legibly on the back of the ticket and return it to the bartender. Do not write nicknames or abbreviations.
4. The drawing will be each Thursday (unless otherwise posted) at 8:00 PM. One ticket is drawn each week from all tickets sold that week to determine who wins the opportunity to “Search for the Queen of Hearts” playing card. Ticket holder need not be present to win. Queen of Hearts chairperson will ask a volunteer to turn over a card on your behalf if you did not identify which number card you requested, or if the number you requested was previously selected. Remember that there is a new drawing every week. This means that after the drawing, the non-winning tickets are thrown away. As the weeks go by, the pot grows bigger and bigger. Also, there will be less and less cards to choose from which increases the odds of finding the Queen of Hearts.
5. The total prize pool will continue to accumulate weekly until the QUEEN OF HEARTS is drawn. The jackpot amount, based on ticket sales, will be updated daily and prominently displayed in the Social Quarters.
6. If your name is drawn, you choose a card. Each winner shall select one facedown playing card; if that playing card is the Queen of Hearts the holder of the winning raffle ticket shall be awarded 60% (40% if NOT Present) of the Grand Prize Pool. If the QUEEN OF HEARTS is not drawn the winning payouts are the following:
All cards 2-10, Any Suit = Wins $10
All Face Cards except the Queens = Wins $10
Any Ace = Wins $20
Each Joker = Wins $50
All Queens, other than the Queen of Hearts = $100
Queen of Hearts = 60% (40% NOT Present) of Grand Prize Pool up to $50,000.
Jackpot will be calculated prior to the Drawing and adjusted after the Drawing to account for prizes awarded during weekly play.
If a person is not present, they can designate a card number on their ticket or a card will be drawn randomly.
7. Once a card is selected, it will be removed from play by drawing a diagonal line on the card's face and placing the card face up on the board. Each week after the drawing, all tickets for that week’s drawing will be destroyed.
