Draws are run from the Manager after the event’s draw point, following the same locked-until-close protection as every other raffle. At each draw, a card is revealed:

• If the revealed card is the Queen of Hearts, the jackpot is won and recorded.
• If it’s any other card, record the result and continue toward the next scheduled draw, per your event rules.

What goes in your rules #

Every Queen of Hearts event runs a little differently, and there’s no single standard structure. Two things are worth deciding — and spelling out clearly in your printed and posted rules — before you launch:

• How often you draw. Weekly, biweekly, tied to a recurring event — whatever cadence fits your organization, as long as it’s written down and consistent.
• How the jackpot is calculated. Some events split a percentage of ticket sales into the jackpot, with the rest going to the organization. Others use a fixed prize schedule tied to the card revealed at each draw — for example, $100 for a King, $200 for an Ace, and the full jackpot only when the Queen of Hearts is drawn. There are a lot of ways to structure it; look at what similar raffles in your area do and check your state and local regulations before you settle on one.
