Donations to the Lodge charity account will be suspended for that week. However, if the Queen of Hearts is drawn, then 100% of that week’s sales will be used to fund the new jackpot. If the queen of hearts is not selected in the current week’s drawing, then the current week’s sales will be split 60-40 as described in section 7 above.
The proceeds from the current week’s sales will not be included in the current week’s jackpot. A winner from an out of state lodge may also have state taxes withheld in accordance with the laws of his or her state. Taxes will be assessed on any prize over 5,000 and remitted to the IRS. The winner must provide photo identification and a valid Elks membership card. If a player is unwilling or unable to provide W2-G information, the prize will revert to the club. 
NO prize over 600 will be paid until the W2-G information is completely filled out. A W2-G (1099) will be issued for prizes over 600. All winning players are responsible for any and all taxes.
If the Stop Card was drawn, the game resets with a new deck of cards. Each week after the drawing, all tickets for that week’s drawing will be destroyed. Once a card is selected, it will be removed from play by drawing a diagonal line on the card’s face and placing the card face up on the board. If a person is not present, they can designate a card number on their ticket or a card will be drawn randomly. Jackpot will be calculated prior to the Drawing. Queen of Hearts wins 100% (2/3 if NOT Present) of the Jackpot If the QUEEN OF HEARTS is not drawn the winning payouts of the Queen’s treasure are the following:Īll Queens, other than the Queen of Hearts, win 100 Forty percent of the ticket donation amount will go to the ELKS Vero Beach Lodge 1774 for expenses and charity.

Also, there will be less and less cards to choose from which increases the odds of finding the Queen of Hearts, unless the Stop Card resets the game. As the weeks go by, the pot grows bigger and bigger. This means that after the drawing, the non-winning tickets are thrown away. Remember that there is a new drawing every week.
