A Growing Jackpot and a Community Tradition

"Every Wednesday brings a new opportunity, not just for someone to win, but for our community to come together in support of something truly meaningful," said Mark Dynia, Marketing & Community Relations Manager at Park Lawn. "The excitement of the growing jackpot is incredible, but what makes Queen of Hearts special is knowing that every ticket purchased helps support the people we serve."
