Earlville Lions Club Queen of Hearts pot nears $500K

November saw pot top $1.7M

The Lounge in Earlville.

The Lounge in Earlville and the Earlville Lions Club are seeing another massive turnout for their Queen of Hearts drawing.

As of Wednesday, Feb. 25, the amount is $471,062.

After a drawing last November that saw a total pot of $1.7 million, the Earlville bar is seeing a growing total for its drawing at 8 p.m. this Saturday, Feb 28.

Anybody is eligible to participate and buy-in until 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb 28, a half hour before the drawing.

Sandra Kozlowski, one of the owners of The Lounge located at 117 S. Ottawa St., said the winner will receive 60% of the pot, just like in the November drawing.

The Queen of Hearts drawing is run by the Earlville Lions Club, Kozlowski explained. Of the 40% that is retained, half is used to start the next pot and half goes to the Lions Club for community projects.
