A new school year, a new Queen of Hearts fundraiser at Carroll Catholic School

 

[November 04, 2024] 

Carroll Catholic School’s Queen of Hearts Raffle is off to another strong start. As a progressive raffle, the jackpot continues to build until the queen of hearts is revealed. Currently, the jackpot is over $5,000.

The Queen of Hearts Raffle consists of a board with a standard poker deck and two jokers arranged randomly face down. The cards are numbered 1 to 54. When a player’s ticket is drawn, the card number on the ticket is revealed. If it’s the queen of hearts, the player wins sixty percent of the jackpot, while the school retains forty percent. All other cards in the deck offer cash payouts of $50 to $200. If the queen of hearts remains hidden, the game continues, and the jackpot rolls over to the next drawing. Tickets must be purchased weekly and only cost $1.00 each.

The Queen of Hearts Raffle is held virtually. The winning ticket will be drawn at 3:30 pm on THURSDAYS at the school and will be livestreamed on the school’s Facebook page. To get ready for each drawing, ticket sales will stop at 3 p.m. on Thursdays. Be sure to check the CCS Facebook page for updated jackpot amounts during the week, as well as a list of the revealed card numbers.

Tickets will be sold throughout the week, both through the school and online. Tickets may be purchased with cash or check from Mrs. Craig in the school office (Monday-Friday from 7am-3:30pm) or tickets may also be purchased online using a credit/debit card, Venmo, or Paypal by visiting https://givebutter.com/QH24-25.

Online purchasers will be prompted to choose a playing card number to be printed on the tickets. Also, during checkout, purchasers will be given the option to cover the transaction processing fees on behalf of the school – this is not required but will certainly be appreciated.

For questions or more information, please call Jennifer Craig at 217-732-7518.
