Queen of Hearts
Contact us for more information on any of our Chamber of Commerce events.
1. Open to all players 18 years or older.
2. Tickets are sold daily at Bunkhouse Saloon, 201 West Warren, Bunker Hill and Red’s Tavern 101 North Washington, Bunker Hill for the weekly drawing. Sales end at promptly 7:45 pm (15 minutes) prior to the drawing time, which is 8:00 pm, Tuesdays for Bunkhouse Saloon and Thursdays for Red’s Tavern. These are two separate Queen of Heart events and you must use your tickets at the location from where you purchased them.
3. Tickets are $1.00 each. There is no limit to the number of tickets sold. After each drawing, that week’s tickets are discarded. New ticket sales will begin next week’s drawing, if the Queen of Hearts is not drawn.
4. Players must write their full name and telephone number on the lines provided on the back of the ticket. The name on the ticket must match the player’s identification (ex. Driver’s License). Players may write their choice of a card number (1-54) from the current selection remaining on the board. Only if present, the player may choose to change their card selection. If player fails to write down a card number, and they are not present, the first available card starting from number one will be selected for the player.
5. Once a ticket is drawn, the player’s name will be called out and that player will have 3 (three) minutes to come to the board for the drawing. A raffle representative will verify player’s identification by asking for a picture ID. Writing must be legible; if not, it will be considered invalid. Rubber stamps are acceptable. Any adhesives will declare a ticket invalid. A new ticket will be drawn until a valid ticket is presented.
6. Breakdown of total money collected for each location:
- 70% Queen of Hearts Prize Value, known as the Jackpot.
- 20% Bunker Hill Area Chamber of Commerce Events and Activity Fund 10%
- Start of New Raffle
7. If the player is present and the Queen of Hearts is drawn, player will receive the full Queen of Hearts prize value, known as the jackpot – which is listed above with breakdown. If not present, and the Queen of Hearts is drawn, the player will receive half of the prize value. Reminder these are two separate Queen of Heart events with separate prize values.

9. Note these are two separate Queen of Heart games, finding the Queen at one location does not end the raffle at the other location. The other location will continue to play until the Queen is revealed for that location’s game to be over.
10. All winners are responsible for the payment of all taxes. If the prize is over $600.00, the Bunker Hill Area Chamber of Commerce will issue a W-2G to the winner. Once the prize exceeds $5,000.00, the Bunker Hill Area Chamber Commerce will withhold federal income tax and state income tax from the winnings. All prizes that exceed $600.00 will be paid by check to the winner on the following Monday, upon the completion of the proper paperwork and identification. Two forms of ID will be required, one being a photo ID. Failure of the winner to return the proper paperwork and identification will void the prize money; the prize money will remain with the Bunker Hill Area Chamber of Commerce.
11. The jackpot will be capped at $1 Million Dollars. Once the jackpot reaches $1 Million that week’s drawing will be the last week of play. If the Queen of Hearts is not pulled on the first try, an additional ticket will be drawn and that process will continue until the Queen of Hearts is pulled from the board to end the game.
