The Queen of Hearts Game: An Overview
The Queen of Hearts fundraiser is a game of anticipation and luck. The centerpiece of the game is a deck of playing cards, each representing a chance to win big. The goal is to uncover the elusive Queen of Hearts, concealed within a set of sealed envelopes attached to the playing cards.
How to Play:
Ticket Purchase: To enter the game, purchase tickets. Each ticket is associated with a specific numbered playing card on the board.

Should the buyer not complete this portion of the ticket, and we are not able to get a hold of the buyer, the lowest number that has not been opened yet will be selected. We will attempt to contact the buyer twice via phone call.
Filling out the ticket: You are required to write your legal first and last name that correspond to your state or federal ID. No nicknames, or titles may be used to fill in your name. You may not purchase a ticket for another person. Example: If Jane Doe purchases a ticket, then the ticket must have Jane Doe’s name on it, and only Jane Doe may collect the winnings. You must also provide either a phone number or mailing address on the ticket as well.
