RELEASE: Blackhawks Launch Weekly Queen of Hearts Raffle

The Chicago Blackhawks have launched the organization's first-ever Queen of Hearts Raffle, a virtual edition of the popular progressive raffle, benefitting the Chicago Blackhawks Foundation.

CBF's mission to create a healthier, smarter, more secure world for all children and families has never been more relevant to both the urgent and long-term needs of our local community. All proceeds from Queen of Hearts virtual raffle ticket sales will benefit COVID-19 relief and recovery efforts as well as neighborhood rebuilding initiatives focused on supporting Chicago's marginalized communities.

The steps for fans to participate, both to try their luck and come together as One Community to give back to these important causes, are easy:

The winning ticket holder who picks the virtual envelope that reveals the Queen of Hearts will receive 50 percent of the total progressive jackpot. If any other card is chosen, a new raffle will start with the jackpot continuing to roll over week-after-week until the Queen of Hearts is drawn.

While participating fans will need to catch the Queen to win big, weekly winners who reveal any other playing card will receive an autographed Blackhawks item.

Raffle ticket sales are now open (Illinois residents only) for the first weekly drawing on Sunday, June 21. Ticket sales for weekly drawings will close approximately one hour before each respective Sunday's drawing, and non-winning entries do not carry over into any subsequent weeks.
