For the meeting of May 1, 2024 there are 11 cards and 3 Jokers. The pot stands at $1,067.00. Ticket donations are: $1 for 1 ticket; $2 for 3 tickets; $3 for 5 tickets; $5 for 10 tickets; and $10 for 25 tickets. Three lucky winners are chosen each week; the first two tickets drawn win $5, the third winner draws a card from the deck in hopes of pulling an Ace to win a share of the pot. If a joker is pulled, it will cost the winner a $2 contribution to the pot. If the Ace of Spades is pulled, the pot is awarded equally to all who have pulled an Ace from the current deck, and the drawing starts over again. Congratulations to Jodi Ellingson for drawing the A of Clubs, and Charlie Drew for drawing the A of Diamonds. They are guaranteed 1/4 of the pot.
