Her Majesty took another powder this week, who has apparently been working as a living mannequin in New York City and is jumping out scaring people. A first-class plane ticket has been sent to the queen, who promised Park Lawn that she will be winging her way back to At the Office Sports Bar & Grill in Crestwood.

It was a big night for K. O. who played the #22 spot revealing the 2 of hearts. She still goes home a winner with 24 free tickets for the Nov. 20 drawdown.

The current progressive raffle continues to set new records for Park Lawn. Players can now play multiple numbers in a single online purchase. That number, along with the buyer's name and phone number, will be written down by a Park Lawn representative on all the tickets purchased in that transaction and placed into that week's drawing. Read the terms and conditions. Players must be 18 or over.

Should the Queen of Hearts appear, the winner splits the pot 60-40 with Park Lawn if present; or 50-50 if not present.

A huge crowd is expected for the drawdown for $1 million. ATO is planning to set up a spillover tent in the parking lot.

Park Lawn officials are meeting to determine the other details. This story will be updated when that information becomes available.

"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."
