Get in on Carmel's Queen of Hearts raffle
Carmel Catholic High School officials continue to await a winner in the school's Queen of Hearts Raffle.
More than $35,000 is currently in the pot, with half that amount being awarded to one lucky winner should the Queen of Hearts be chosen during the next drawing Thursday, April 22.
The weekly raffle will supplement Carmel's 47th annual Street Scenes event. The Carmel community and general public can test their luck while supporting the cause by purchasing Queen of Hearts tickets for $5 each.
Ticket sales close each Thursday at noon for that evening's drawing, which is livestreamed on the school's official Facebook page. Ticket sales will begin at 9 a.m. the day after the weekly drawing and will count for the following week's drawing.
Participants must be at least 21 years old and physically present in Illinois when purchasing raffle tickets. Cards will be numbered 1-54 and include a pair of jokers, which also provide a monetary payoff. Participants will be able to select the ticket number for which they wish to buy raffle tickets.
The winner who selects the envelope containing the hidden Queen of Hearts playing card will win 50% of the total progressive jackpot, which rolls over week after week. All remaining proceeds will benefit Carmel Catholic High School tuition assistance and student programming.
