New Park Lawn Queen Of Hearts Raffle Rolls Over With $1.075M Jackpot

OAK LAWN, IL — It was a whole new game in Park Lawn Queen of Hearts Raffle after the joker killed the board last week. The elusive queen was assisting King Charles in bestowing a royal title on a rare golden goat breed.

The jackpot going into the July 31 pull stands at $1,075,140 and growing. Nobody has won Park Lawn’s Queen of Hearts since October 2022. The seventh edition has had the board wiped clean by four jokers.

It was a big night for Justin M. who played the #27 spot, revealing the jack of diamonds. He still goes home a winner with 24 free tickets for the July 31 drawing.

Due to the extremely high volume of players, online ticket sales will now CLOSE at NOON MONDAY for the weekly drawing every Wednesday. Sales of online tickets have already resumed for the next week's drawing.

You can still buy tickets IN PERSON during business hours at Park Lawn's Oak Lawn office at 10833 Laporte Ave., or buy them from the handy dandy ticket machine at the always fun At The Office Sports Bar & Grill in Crestwood, where the live drawing is held every Wednesday at 7 p.m.

All tickets must now be in the black box by 6:50 p.m. so they can be poured into the Bozo drum. And for all your conspiracy theorists out there, the Facebook Live drawing will run a little longer from now on so the players at home can see Bozo Drum spun and mixed “9 million times.”
The current progressive raffle jackpot continues to set new records for Park Lawn, with the only million dollar-plus jackpot in the south suburbs.

Players can now play multiple numbers in a single online purchase. That number, along with the buyer's name and phone number, will be written down by a Park Lawn representative on all the tickets purchased in that transaction and placed into that week's drawing. Read the terms and conditions. Players must be 18 or over.
