Homewood, IL-(ENEWSPF)- The Marian Catholic Queen of Hearts Raffle rolled over Thursday night when number 10 was chosen, revealing the Queen of Diamonds. The Chicago Heights school’s 2013 alumnus Jason Fleming won $100.

The 50/50 pot now stands in excess of $56,500.

Tickets are available at Rudy’s at Balagio, 17501 Dixie Highway in Homewood.

Rudy’s opens daily at 4:00 PM.

Drawings for the raffle are weekly every Thursday at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $5.00 each and are available during business hours at Rudy’s.

Tickets are $5.00 per ticket and must include full name, phone number, and the chosen card number, one of the remaining numbers on the board, pictured above.
