  • Ticket sales will end at 7:45pm.
  • One ticket will be drawn at 8:00pm each Thursday.
  • If the card position number on the weekly winning ticket doesn’t reveal the Queen of Hearts, the ticket will be placed in the sleeve in front of the selected card on the raffle board.  The phone number will be redacted.
  • The pot will roll over to the next week and the new total will be posted on the Bank the Blue Website, social medial pages, and at Harte’s Saloon.
  • Winning ticket names will not be posted on the Bank the Blue website or social media pages, (only the card position number and face of the card will be posted).
  • After each weekly drawing, tickets from that week will be emptied from the raffle box and ticket sales for the next week will begin immediately.
  • Bank the Blue reserves the right to pay out the winner up to 30 days from the announcement.
  • The Bank the Blue Queen of Hearts raffle committee reserves the right to amend these rules as needed prior to any week’s drawing.

IRS RULES

  • Winners are always required to report gambling winnings.
  • Bank the Blue is required to fill out and file a W-2G for a winner that receives more that $1,500 for one prize. This is figured by the IRS rules that require reporting of winnings over $600 and 300 times the wager. Since we are selling the tickets 6 for $5, the Bank the Blue finance committee calculated $5 x 300 to get $1,500.
  • Bank the Blue is required to fill out a W-2G and withhold federal income tax for winnings over $5,000. Bank the Blue will give the winner a net amount. Bank the Blue keeps the taxes and pays them upfront to the IRS. The winner reports the gross winnings on their income tax and also reports the withholding.
