Park Lawn's Queen of Hearts Jackpot Surpasses $1 Million After Another Rollover!

OAK LAWN, IL — A historic milestone was reached Wednesday evening as Park Lawn's Queen of Hearts raffle officially surpassed the $1 million mark, making one of the largest charitable gaming jackpots in the region even bigger.

Hundreds gathered at Fat Tommy's Grill & Sports Bar, while thousands more followed online, hoping to witness the Queen of Hearts finally be revealed. Instead, the excitement continues.

Wednesday night's winning ticket belonged to S.J. (XXX-XXX-9050), who selected Card #28, revealing the 6 of Clubs. While the Queen of Hearts remains hidden, S.J. earned 24 tickets into next week's drawing, and the jackpot rolls over once again.

The next drawing is expected to feature a jackpot of more than $1,010,750, giving participants another opportunity to compete for life-changing money while supporting a life-changing mission.

"This milestone belongs to our entire community," said Mark Dynia, Marketing & Community Relations Manager for Park Lawn. "Every ticket purchased helps us provide opportunities, services, and support for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Reaching more than one million dollars is exciting, but what's even more inspiring is seeing our community come together week after week to support our mission."

The weekly Queen of Hearts drawing has grown into one of the area's premier fundraising events, attracting participants from across Illinois and neighboring states. Unlike many raffles, proceeds directly benefit Park Lawn, a nonprofit organization that has served individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1955 through residential services, employment programs, day services, community integration, and specialized supports.

The next Queen of Hearts drawing will take place on Wednesday, July 1, at 7:00 p.m. at Fat Tommy's Grill & Sports Bar in Oak Lawn and will also be streamed live on Facebook.

Tickets can be purchased:

• Online at www.parklawn.com (through Wednesday at 8:00 a.m.)
• In person at Fat Tommy's Grill & Sports Bar
• At Park Lawn, 10833 Laporte Ave., Oak Lawn, during normal business hours

With more than $1,010,750 on the line and the Queen of Hearts still waiting to be found, next Wednesday promises to be one of the biggest nights in the raffle's history.
