The winner walks away with 60% of the jackpot, with 40% going to Park Lawn's residential, vocational and support services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Here's how the game works: The game consists of a deck of 52 shuffled playing cards plus the two jokers. Each is placed into a sealed envelope and placed on the board. A raffle ticket is drawn every week, and that person gets to reveal a card. If the queen of hearts surfaces, that's the big winner; otherwise, the jackpot rolls over.
