July 23, 2021 (Effingham, IL) Representatives from Effingham Sportsbackers and St. Anthony Booster Club announce the launch of a joint Queen of Hearts raffle. The proceeds from the raffle benefit the sports programs at Effingham Unit 40 schools and Effingham St. Anthony Schools.
The “Queen of Hearts” raffle is a progressive jackpot raffle which offers drawings every two weeks. Participants, if their ticket is selected at one of the drawings, have a chance to win the jackpot based on a draw from a deck of 54 cards. Participation is open to the public ages 18 and older.
Tickets are now available for purchase during regular business hours at these Effingham area businesses: The Orchard Inn, Gabby Goat, Brass Rail Lounge at Niemergs, St. Anthony Parish Center, Dan Hecht Toyota Chevrolet, and Northside Ford. Tickets are $5.00 each or 5 for $20.00.
The jackpot for the first drawing is $20,000.00 and will be held on August 28, 2021 at 7:00 PM at The Orchard Inn. One winning ticket will be selected for a chance to pull the Queen of Hearts from the deck. If the Queen of Hearts card is selected, the winner will receive 50% of the $20,000 jackpot. If any other card is chosen, a new raffle will start with the jackpot continuing to roll over week-after-week until the Queen of Hearts is drawn. For each drawing, the winning ticket holder receives $500 if present, or $250 if not present.
The drawings will always be held at 7:00 PM and the schedule of drawing dates and locations include:
