Rules of the Game
Queen of Hearts
The drawing takes place on Facebook and at the 405 Pub & Grill every Wednesday live at 6:30pm, beginning July 26, 2023 and continuing until a Queen of Hearts winner is drawn.
Drawings take place at:
The 405 Pub & Grill, 405 Union Ave, Laconia, NH 03246 or at a previously announced location. Drawings from the restaurant will be livestreamed each week for a fully virtual experience for participants.
A game board with 54 cards placed face down and sealed and numbered (standard deck + 2 Jokers) will be used. The Board was purchased from a certified gaming vendor and will be locked in a secured location when not in use during the livestream drawings.
Sales of Raffle tickets for each new week will close on the website at 5pm on Wednesday, and in-person at 6:25pm. Ticket purchases online after 5:15pm on Wednesday will be put into the next week’s pot.
The initial pot has been funded by donors/sponsors. We sell 3 tickets for $5; 6 tickets for $10; 9 Tickets for $15; 12 Tickets for $20 and with $25 we give 18 which is 3 FREE. There is no limit on the number of tickets that can be purchased.
If your ticket is drawn during the livestream, the corresponding number you selected will then be pulled off of the certified board by a Miss Lakes Region Board Member.
If the Queen of Hearts is drawn, 50% of the total pot (which increases every week) goes to you (subject to taxes). The remaining 50% goes toward higher education scholarships for our title holders and remanded to the college or university they are enrolled in.
If the card drawn is another Queen (other than Queen of Hearts) or a Joker, you win $100; if a Joker, $200.
If the card drawn is any other card in the deck, the winner takes home $50.
All winners will be contacted within two hours after the drawing.
Tickets only last for one week:
After the drawing of each week’s winning number, all remaining tickets will be removed from the raffle drum to be destroyed. Tickets are good for 1 week only and a new ticket or tickets must be purchased at the start of each new week (after 6:30pm on Wednesday for the next week’s drawing).
For each week’s winner:
Winners must pay applicable taxes on their prize. Prizes will be distributed by check and Miss Lakes Region will issue a W2-G as needed, which will require the winner to provide his/her social security number. If the winner is unwilling to fill out the W2-G, the prize will revert back to Miss Lakes Region.
