  • The winning number and the winner's prize will be announced on the Foundation's website (www.lotodamedecoeur.ca) as well as on 104.7 Outaouais radio on Wednesday mornings between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM, except on public holidays, when the announcement will be made through the same channels the day after the holiday, following the draw.
  • In the event that the announced (displayed) number and the official winning number are not identical, the latter shall prevail
  • The person holding the winning ticket must claim their prize by contacting the Foundation by phone or email, providing their purchase confirmation email (or presenting their printed ticket) and proof of identity. The holder of the winning ticket will have fourteen (14) business days from the time of the announcement to claim the prize. To facilitate the prize award process, the Foundation will also use the contact information provided by the ticket purchaser to reach out to them during the claim period.
  • In the event that the person whose ticket is selected does not claim their prize within the fourteen (14) business days, the prize amount will be invested in a program of the Outaouais Health Foundation approved by the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux du Québec.
  • The funds raised are divided as follows: 20% for the weekly prize, 30% for the cumulative jackpot, and 50% is allocated to the Outaouais Health Foundation to fund its projects.
  • The cumulative jackpot will start at $5,000.
  • Each week, a ticket is drawn at random, and the holder automatically wins 20% of the weekly ticket sales. But that person could win even more!
  • At the time of purchase, the ticket holder will choose an envelope at random from those available. Once the weekly winning ticket holder is determined by the system, if the envelope chosen by the purchaser at the time of purchase contains the Queen of Hearts, the person wins the cumulative jackpot. If a card other than the Queen of Hearts is drawn, no additional prize is awarded (unless the card drawn is a joker). The drawn card is then removed from the game, along with all the tickets for the week. 30% of the week's ticket sales are added to the progressive jackpot, and the game resumes the following week.
  • The game starts with a total of 54 cards (thus 54 envelopes). With each drawing, if the Queen of Hearts is not found, one envelope is removed, reducing the number of options for the next draw until the Queen of Hearts is drawn. Once it is found, the jackpot resets to its starting amount of $5,000.
  • If the card drawn is the joker, a prize of $1,000 will automatically be awarded to the winner.
  • The prize will be awarded via bank transfer in Canadian dollars, upon receiving the winner's banking information, within 60 days following the draw. In certain cases, draw prizes may be paid by cheque.
  • The winner's prize is non-transferable and must be accepted as awarded without substitution.
  • Only the holder of the winning ticket can claim the prize.
  • Outaouais Health Foundation assumes no responsibility for any other person claiming to have an interest or right to receive all or part of the prize associated with the ticket.
  • The odds of winning depend on the total number of tickets sold.
  • Tickets are subject to verification by the draw organizers. Any fraudulent ticket will be automatically rejected and will not be eligible for a prize. The draw ticket will be void if there is evidence that the ticket has been stolen, not issued, ineligible, altered, counterfeited, defective, printed in duplicate, or printed/produced in error. Unauthorized individuals who copy, sell, or alter tickets are subject to prosecution.
  • In the event that a secondary prize is added to a draw, the details of the prize, its value, and the draw specifics will be communicated on the Foundation's website (www.lotodamedecoeur.ca). All information regarding eligibility, the draw, communication with the prize winner, other terms and conditions, and the public release declaration outlined in this document will apply.
