WHAT IS THE JOKERS WILD?

One ticket will be drawn every week starting on January 26th, 2022 at First String Bar and Grill – 5921 New Cut Road, Louisville, KY 40214. Once the pot grows to $150,000 we will start drawing 2 tickets every Wednesday. We will cut the card from the board on the first ticket drawn, if it’s a Queen of Hearts the ticket holder will get $1,000, the board will end and we will NOT draw the second ticket that evening. If the card is NOT the Joker then we will draw a second ticket and cut that card from the board. All drawings will be streamed to our Shirley’s Way YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com/c/ShirleysWay
  3. Shirley’s Way will fund the initial pot with a Jackpot of $5,000.00 and the winning ticket will get half the total pot. Tickets are $2 each with no limit on the number of tickets that can be purchased. All tickets will be sold online via www.jokerswildlive.org. The person who picks the card with the Joker underneath will win half the pot #HALFthePOT.

HOW DO YOU PLAY?

  1. The card number is selected by using uniform ticket stubs pulled from our lottery-certified raffle drum. If the card flipped is the Joker, the WINNER will receive fifty (50%) of the jackpot. The remaining portion of the funds will go to Shirley’s Way to fund its charitable mission. If a Queen of Hearts is flipped the ticket holder will win $1,000 and the game will end. The remaining pot total will roll over to a NEW board with 157 cards.

WHAT IF NOBODY WINS?

  1. If the card flipped is NOT the Joker a consolation prize of $50 will be paid for each card flipped. Except for the Queen of Hearts. The Queen of Hearts will pay out $1,000 as covered in item #4 above.
  2. If the card flipped is NOT the Joker the holder will receive the $100 and all the tickets will be cleared from the database and NEW tickets will be sold for the following weeks drawing. TICKETS WILL NOT CARRY OVER FROM ONE WEEK’S DRAWING TO THE NEXT. A NEW TICKET MUST BE PURCHASED FOR EACH WEEK’S DRAWING TO PARTICIPATE.
  3. If the card number selected using the raffle drum has already been turned we will make a single attempt to call the ticket holder to ask which card they would like to flip.

Such purchase may be discarded and ruled ineligible after a winning draw only upon good cause and within 48 hours of the drawing. Due to the nature of online ticket purchases. It is possible but unlikely that we could have a duplicate ticket situation. This could happen if 2 people purchase tickets at the same exact time. The digital ticketing tool assigns ticket numbers as they are purchased. We often have a large number of tickets purchased at the very last minute which could cause a duplicate ticket situation. If a duplicate ticket is selected we will enter into a “Showdown”. The “Showdown” numbers on our list are directly to the left of the first names on our list of tickets. We will place the “Showdown” numbers in Calculator.net. and a winner will be selected from the identified duplicate ticket holders. See the Example in the graphic below. Our “Showdown” numbers are highlighted in red. The numbers 8-11 are just for illustration in this example and could be different numbers during the actual drawing. IE: 8 (lower limit) and 11 (upper limit) would be entered in Caluculator.net and a winner would be generated.

 

  1. This contest is only valid in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This contest is void where prohibited by law.
  2. All tickets purchased will be entered into the Shirley’s Way donation database so Shirley’s Way can communicate about upcoming drawings and specials.
  3. The winner need not be present to win.
