Assumption's Queen of Hearts Jackpot Climbs to $327,662 with Just 8 Cards Remaining

Excitement continues to build at Assumption Catholic Parish and School as their Queen of Hearts raffle has grown into one of the largest community fundraisers in the St. Louis area. With the jackpot now at $327,662 and only 8 cards remaining, participants have a chance to win more than $163,000 if the Queen of Hearts is revealed.

But this raffle is about much more than a jackpot.

Assumption is raising funds to replace aging air conditioning units throughout its campus. The parish and school estimate the project will cost approximately $2.3 million, and 50% of every jackpot is dedicated to helping fund these much-needed improvements. Every ticket purchased helps move the project one step closer to completion while giving supporters a chance to win big.

Only 8 Cards Left

With just nine unopened cards remaining on the board, the odds of finding the Queen of Hearts have never been better. Even if the Queen isn't revealed, players still have a chance to win one of Assumption's increased weekly prizes:

  • Queen of Hearts: 50% of the $327,662 jackpot
  • Ace or King of Hearts: $1,000
  • Any Other Card: $500

Every Tuesday night brings another exciting opportunity, and winners do not need to be present to claim their prize.

A Community Coming Together

One of the most inspiring parts of this fundraiser has been the incredible support from the surrounding community.

Last week's annual Ice Cream Social drew a tremendous crowd as families gathered for food, fellowship, and the weekly Queen of Hearts drawing. Guests enjoyed free ice cream generously donated by Ronnie's Ice Cream and 500 cookies donated by Dad's Cookies, two outstanding St. Louis businesses helping support a great cause.

The event was a tremendous success, with more than 3,800 tickets sold on Ice Cream Social day alone, generating over $19,000 in ticket sales.

Even during the busy Fourth of July holiday week, excitement never slowed down. Supporters purchased more than 8,400 tickets throughout the week, demonstrating just how much the community has rallied around Assumption's mission.

Be Part of the Next Drawing

With only 8 cards left, this could be the week someone uncovers the Queen of Hearts and takes home more than $163,000.

Better yet, every ticket helps improve Assumption Catholic Parish and School by supporting the replacement of aging air conditioning systems that will benefit students, parishioners, teachers, and visitors for years to come.
