McHenry VFW Queen of Hearts Jackpot Reaches $3.3 Million

MCHENRY, IL – The excitement will continue on Tuesday, Aug. 7, in McHenry. The jackpot for the McHenry VFW Post 4600 Queen of Hearts, which stood at $2.92 million during Tuesday's drawing, will roll over again with 13 cards remaining. The jackpot for this week’s drawing will be $3.3 million.

The jackpot is believed to be the largest VFW Queen of Hearts purse in Illinois history, the Daily Herald reports.

A ticket purchased by Linda J. was selected as crowds packed the VFW post building at 3002 W. Route 120 in McHenry last Tuesday night. Linda, who was not in attendance, picked card number 18, which revealed the king of spades. Those who purchase tickets do not need to be present to win.

Queen of Heart tickets for Tuesday's 8 p.m. drawing are again available anytime the VFW post, 3002 W. Route 120, is open. Hours of operation are: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday. The VFW is closed on Monday and reopens at 11 a.m. on Tuesday. Tickets cost $5 for six.

For those planning to buy tickets, be sure to fill out the back of each raffle ticket with their full name, phone number and card number - even if they are staying for the 8 p.m. raffle. A look at the 13 cards left and the numbers you can pick can be found here.
