There are 54 cards in the deck, placed randomly by the manufacturer and sealed on the board.

The board is locked in a glass display case and only removed on the day of the drawing.

Tickets are one dollar each, six for five dollars, or thirty for twenty dollars.

Purchasers must write their first and last name on the ticket and a phone number where they can be contacted. Nicknames and abbreviations are not allowed. Purchasers have the option to also write on the ticket the card number they want opened in the event their ticket is drawn and they are not present. If a ticket is drawn and no card number is specified, and the purchaser is not present, then the first available number on the board will be opened.

If the ticket has more than one name, then all persons named on the ticket must be present to claim the maximum prize of 60 %.  If a group of people join together to purchase tickets, they must provide a list of the group members prior to the start of the drawing.                        

If all group members are not present, then the prize will be reduced to 40 %.

Being present for the drawing is defined as being on the VFW property at the time the ticket is drawn and winners name announced.

The jackpot is progressive and will roll over each week until the Queen of Hearts is drawn, or until the prize reaches the level allowed by law. If this occurs, all sales after that time will be applied to the next game.

There is one exception to these rules as follows. If the winning ticket was purchased by a member of the VFW, and that person is not on the property as he or she is attending an official VFW function (meeting, wake, funeral etc.) then that person will be considered as present for the drawing. That person’s absence will be verified by the Post Commander or other person designated for this purpose.
