Shenanigans Queen of Hearts
The game “Queen of Hearts” is a game of chance where a successful player winsthe money held in a Jackpot.
The game begins with a player buying one or more tickets for $1.00 each. The tickets sold during any given week will all be placed in the ticket return bin. Each week, at the time and place shown on the schedule, one ticket will be drawn from the jar. On the spot, the owner ofthe chosen ticket will have the opportunity to try to pick the Queen of Hearts from a prepackaged Queen of Hearts game board. If the owner of the chosen ticket is not present to try for the Queen of Hearts, acard will be drawn on his or her behalf.
If the Queen of Hearts is drawn, the Jackpot will be paid out as described in the Rules. If not, the game continues until the Queen of Hearts is drawn.
In addition, there are smaller prizes if the player does not draw the Queen of Hearts but drawsthe queen of diamonds, clubs, or spades or one of the two jokers. In that case, a smalleramount is paid to the successful player, and the game continues to the next week.
