Exit Strategy

If the total number of tickets allowed by the licence have been sold before the Queen of Hearts is drawn, we will announce that the maximum has been reached and proceed with a final draw. The first ticket drawn will win 20% of the weekly sales; if the winner draws the Queen of Hearts they will win the Progressive Jackpot as well. If the winner draws a different card, we will draw a second ticket and that winner will draw a card; if the Queen of Hearts is drawn, they win the Progressive Jackpot, if not they do not win any money. This will continue until one of that week’s ticket holders wins the Progressive Jackpot.
