The "Queen of Hearts" progressive lottery of the Fondation Santé Outaouais is a progressive jackpot draw aimed at supporting the Foundation's fundraising activities. The funds raised are invested in projects to improve health care in the region at the CISSS de l'Outaouais, such as state-of-the-art equipment or innovative projects.

General Conditions

• All orders will be processed and fulfilled using the BUMP draw management platform, a division of CBN. In the event of any discrepancy, the records of BUMP, a division of CBN, will be considered correct and final. The Foundation is responsible for the conduct and management of the draw. The licensee's liability will be limited to the purchase price of the ticket.

Eligibility Criteria

Participation is reserved exclusively for individuals aged 18 and over who are physically located in the province of Quebec at the time of ticket purchase, regardless of their place of residence or telephone number.

For online purchases, the buyer must authorize geolocation in order to confirm their presence in Quebec at the time of the transaction. In the absence of confirmation of a Quebec location (or in the event of the use of a process intended to mask the location), the ticket may be rejected during verification of the winning ticket, potentially resulting in a new draw to find an eligible winner in accordance with the regulations established by the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux du Québec.

Ineligible persons. The following may not participate in the draw:

• all employees of the Fondation Santé Outaouais;
• members of the board of directors of the Fondation Santé Outaouais;

Individual Participation

Participation in the Queen of Hearts lottery is reserved for natural persons. Purchases made on behalf of a group, association, company or any other legal entity are not eligible. Only one (1) name is registered per ticket. The name associated with the ticket cannot be changed after the ticket has been issued. Tickets may not be purchased in the name of a minor.

Every ticket purchase must be made under the first and last name of an individual, as they appear on an official piece of identification (e.g.: driver's license, health insurance card). This person is considered the official holder of the ticket and, where applicable, the only recognized winner of the draw.

The Fondation Santé Outaouais will award the prize exclusively to this person, after verification of their identity. Any agreement or division of the prize among the members of a group or company constitutes a private arrangement between those persons, without any responsibility or involvement on the part of the Fondation Santé Outaouais.

Draw and Communication with the Winner

The date and time of the winning ticket draw for each draw will be communicated on the Foundation's website. The date will also be indicated on the participant's ticket. Draws will take place on Wednesday mornings at 8:00 a.m. If the day is a public holiday, the draw will take place the day after the holiday. Sales will continue until 8:00 a.m. the following day.

According to the following draw schedule:

The first day of sales will be June 2, 2026.

• The winning number and the prize amount will be announced on the Foundation's website (www.lotodamedecoeur.ca), on 104.7 Outaouais radio on Wednesday mornings between 8:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., as well as on the Foundation's Facebook page.
• In the event that the announced (displayed) number and the official winning number are not identical, the latter shall prevail.
• One (1) draw will take place each week. If the Queen of Hearts has not been revealed by the end of the period covered by the license, a draw will be held among the eligible entries to determine a winner who will receive the weekly prize as well as the progressive jackpot, ending the current edition. The last draw provided for by the license is June 2, 2027.
• The person holding the winning ticket must claim their prize by contacting the Foundation by phone or email, providing their purchase 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. In order to facilitate awarding the prize to the winner, the Foundation will also use the contact details provided by the ticket buyer to communicate with them during the claim period.
• In the event that the person whose ticket is selected has not claimed their prize within the period of fourteen (14) business days, the prize amount will be invested in a Fondation Santé Outaouais program approved by the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux du Québec.
• The money raised is divided as follows: 20% for the weekly prize, 30% for the progressive jackpot, 50% given to the Fondation Santé Outaouais to fund projects.
• The progressive jackpot will start at $100,000.
• Each week, one (1) ticket is randomly selected from all tickets sold during the current draw period. The holder of the selected ticket automatically wins an amount equivalent to twenty percent (20%) of the sales of the current draw.
• When purchasing their ticket package, each participant must choose a virtual envelope from those still available. Once the winning ticket is determined, the envelope selected by its holder is revealed.

Secondary Prizes

If a participant wins the weekly prize and the chosen envelope contains one of the following cards — Queen of Diamonds, Queen of Spades or Queen of Clubs — the participant will win one of the secondary prizes offered. If the envelope contains the Queen of Hearts, the participant wins the progressive jackpot.

Secondary prizes are also associated with certain specific cards:

• If the envelope contains the Queen of Diamonds, the winner wins a car.
• If the envelope contains the Queen of Spades, the winner wins a trip.
• If the envelope contains the Queen of Clubs, the winner wins a year of groceries.
• If the envelope contains the Queen of Hearts, the participant wins the progressive jackpot.

• ♦A carQueen of Diamonds
• ♠A tripQueen of Spades
• ♣A year of groceriesQueen of Clubs
• ♥Progressive jackpotQueen of Hearts

The secondary prizes are as detailed below:

• If another card is revealed, no additional prize is awarded. The drawn card is then removed from the game, along with all of the week's tickets. Thirty percent (30%) of the week's sales are added to the progressive jackpot and the game continues the following week with one fewer envelope.
• The game begins with a total of 52 cards (therefore 52 envelopes). At each draw, if the Queen of Hearts is not found, an envelope is removed, thereby reducing the number of options for the next draw, until the Queen of Hearts is drawn.
• Winners will be selected at random from all eligible entries registered for the relevant draw.
• Weekly prize winners will be contacted using the contact details provided when purchasing the tickets.
• The prize will be awarded via bank transfer in Canadian dollars, after obtaining the winner's banking information, within 10 business days following the draw. In some cases, draw prizes may be paid by check.
• The winner's prize is non-transferable and must be accepted as is without substitution.
• Only the holder of the winning ticket may claim the prize.
• The Fondation Santé Outaouais assumes no responsibility with respect to any other person who claims to hold an interest in or a right to receive all or part of the prize associated with the winning ticket.
• The chances 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 entitle the holder to a prize. The draw ticket will be void if there is evidence that the ticket was stolen, not issued, ineligible, altered, counterfeit, defective, printed in duplicate, or printed / produced in error. Unauthorized persons who copy, sell or alter tickets are subject to prosecution.
