Park Lawn's Queen of Hearts Raffle Swells To $37,175

OAK LAWN, IL — Park Lawn's progressive Queen of Hearts raffle jackpot is back and has swelled to over $37,175 and is still growing. The elusive lady has yet come out of hiding. Last week's pick was the Queen of Clubs, the winner of which received 24 free tickets for the next drawing. Twenty-six positions are left on the board.

Typically, when Oak Lawn Patch gets involved, the Queen of Hearts reveals herself, so this is a good week to buy tickets. Proceeds go toward Park Lawn’s programs for persons with disabilities.
The next big pick is this Wednesday, Oct. 20 and is sponsored by Oak Lawn Mazda. The drawing takes place 7 p.m. every Wednesday, at At The Office Sports Bar and Grill, 4901 Cal Sag Road, Crestwood. Tickets are on sale now for this week's drawing: 6 for $5 (tickets can be purchased in $5 increments), 10 for $12, or 24 for $20. No single tickets will be sold. Players must be 18 or older. One ticket will be drawn every Wednesday.

Unlike some Queen of Hearts raffles, Park Lawn purchases a laminated, serial-numbered board from a manufacturer. Nobody at Park Lawn knows where the queen o' hearts is hiding. Joker resets the board.

Buy tickets online or at "At The Office" Sports Bar And Grill, or Park Lawn's Oak Lawn locations at 10833 Laporte Avenue or 5040 W. 111th St. Read the terms. Ticket sales end at 2 p.m. Wednesday.

If present for the drawing, 60 percent goes to the winner, with 40 percent going to Park Lawn. If not present, the winner and Park Lawn split the pot 50-50. Find the Ace of Spades and win free appetizers for a year from At The Office. Watch the drawing live on Park Lawn Facebook.
