Park Lawn Queen Of Hearts Jackpot Breaks $2M For Wednesday’s Drawing

OAK LAWN, IL — We can’t take it anymore. The Park Lawn Queen of Hearts jackpot has just crossed the $2 million threshold for the Wednesday, Nov. 13 pull at the always fun At the Office Sports Bar & Grill in Crestwood. The jackpot now stands at $2,005,220 and growing.

Unless the queen pops up in this Wednesday’s drawing, a drawdown will take place on Nov. 20 to give everyone a chance to get a piece of the action. Tickets will be drawn and positions called until the Queen of Hearts is found. If the space is already claimed, the ticket will be discarded and a new ticket will be pulled until the Queen of Hearts is found. The old broad can run, but she can no longer hide.

Park Lawn’s progressive raffle has been rolling over since October 2022 which was the last time someone won. Six jokers have killed the board, necessitating Park Lawn to start a new game each time. The game fell under the scrutiny of Village of Crestwood leadership when the jackpot reached $1 million in July after a joker was pulled, starting a new game with a clean board based on a deck of playing cards.

The charity decided to cap the jackpot at $2 million when the Village of Crestwood required a bond for the game to continue to $4 million. In order for Park Lawn to take out a bond, an individual associated with the charity must be personally responsible for it, such as a staff person or board member. Sources tell Patch that the Park Lawn board did not want to go with that option and decided instead to cap the jackpot at $2 million and have a drawdown.

The Park Lawn Queen of Hearts raffle has attracted thousands of players across the Chicago region, including a dedicated cadre of groupies who reserve half the bar at ATO in for a chance to win the life changing, take-this-job-and-shove-it jackpot.

Should the game go to a drawdown, players who pull spots where the queen isn't found will win 24 tickets when a new game resumes. Also, proceeds from any tickets sold in excess of $2 million will be thrown into the jackpot.

It could be a lengthy process that could take up to a couple of hours or it could be over in five minutes. Each player whose ticket is pulled will win 24 free tickets for the new 8.0 version of the Park Lawn Queen of Hearts raffle.

If the winner picks the queen and is present, he or she splits the jackpot 60-40; if not present, the winner splits the jackpot 50-50 with Park Lawn. Players must be age 18 or older.

Wait, there's more: if you pull the ace of hearts and are present to win, you'll wind a free appetizer a week for a year at ATO.

"To all our Queen of Hearts players, your dedication is more than just a game—it's a commitment to making a real difference," said Mark Dynia, chief marketing officer for Park Lawn. "As you chase the $2 million jackpot, remember that every ticket you purchase supports individuals with disabilities, helping to create a world where everyone has the chance to thrive. Together, we can hit the jackpot, not just for one, but for all."
