BEAVERCREEK — A winner for the Grand Finale Queen of Hearts drawing at Beaver Vu Bowling Alley has been selected.
Tonight a man is going home with almost a million dollars.
The drawing started at 7 p.m. and by 7:31 p.m. a winner was selected when card 32 was the Queen of Hearts.
The jackpot totaled $914,294 Monday night.
This comes after its jackpot earlier this month paid out more than a million dollars.
“What happened was they sold so many extra tickets that they shut it down because they couldn’t get any more in the barrel so that’s what carried over to this. That’s how it works,” Paul Rodriguez said.
People came from around Ohio, others from out of state.
Greg Moore said he was banking on winning in June but watched someone else claim the cash.
“Somebody won it, you know more power to them, its all good,” he said.
Moore said it’s more than just the money — he enjoys everyone coming together.
“Another full tailgate. Makes it fun,” he said.
Moore along with several people set up camps the night before.
David Cross said he even had a generator running to keep things cool.
“Fans are blowing, I’m cool, everybody else is cool, the neighbor next door over there I got a fan for her,” Cross said.
Rodriquez was in the bowling alley for last month’s drawing and said Monday nights brought the same energy.
The bowling alley said they do not have Queen of Hearts drawings set for anytime soon.
