Carroll Catholic School announces its Queen of Hearts Raffle

 

[October 10, 2021]   Carroll Catholic School announces its Queen of Hearts Raffle again! As a progressive raffle, the jackpot will continue to build until the queen of hearts is revealed. At that time, the raffle has a jackpot of over $1,000.

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 written 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 lower cash payouts. If the queen of hearts remains hidden, the game continues and the jackpot rolls over to the next drawing.

Initially this year, our Queen of Hearts Raffle will be held virtually. We will draw the winning ticket at 3:30 pm on Fridays at the school and will livestream the drawing on the school’s Facebook page. To get ready for each drawing, ticket sales will stop at 3:00 on Fridays. If the queen of hearts is not revealed, the jackpot will continue to build for the next drawing. Be sure to check our Facebook page for updated jackpot amounts during the week, as well as a list of the revealed card numbers.
 

We will sell tickets throughout the week, both through the school and online. You may purchase tickets with cash or check from Mrs. Craig in the school office (Monday-Friday from 7am-3:30pm). And new this year, tickets may be purchased online using a credit/debit card, Venmo, or Paypal by visiting https://givebutter.com/VzZqcG, and we’ll take care of filling out your tickets for you. When purchasing online, you’ll be asked to tell us what playing card number you want written on your tickets. Also, during checkout, you’ll be asked if you wish to cover the processing fees on behalf of the school – this is not expected (and you can opt out of doing so), but it will be certainly appreciated if you choose to.

Attached is a quick overview of how to play the raffle, as well as the complete rules. If, after looking them over, you still have questions about how to play, don’t hesitate to get contact Jennifer Craig at 217-732-7518.

Good luck if you take part in our Queen of Hearts Raffle, and thank you as always for your continued support of the students and mission of Carroll Catholic School!
