Deuce of Diamonds Raffle

Next Drawing: April 17, 2025

Weekly Drawings happen every Thursday, at 8 P.M., at 1341 N Main Street Hampstead Volunteer Fire Company. One card is drawn weekly; the drawings continue weekly until the Deuce of Diamonds is revealed. The card drawn (number, facecard, joker) determines the payout to the person whose ticket was drawn for that week. The game is progressive with additional funds added to the jackpot for the next drawing, until the Deuce of Diamonds is drawn and the jackpot is paid out. Then the game starts over the next week with all 54 cards and a new jackpot.

Online Ticket Purchase

This online purchase form will remain open for ticket sales each week until (Thursday) at 5:00 pm. It will then close so that tickets purchased during the preceding week may be prepared for entry for (Thursday) night drawing. Online ticket sales will re-open within 24 hours after the drawing, earlier as personnel permits

In-Person Ticket Purchase

Tickets will be available via self-service or in person at Hampstead Volunteer Fire Company facilities daily from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Ticket sales on drawing days will end at 5:00 p.m. sharp at Hampstead Volunteer Fire Company, and all tickets must be placed in the drum by 7:25 p.m!!

The purchases will be self-service. Enter the station via the front door on Main Street into the vestibule. Fill out your ticket, there can be only one name per ticket. Review the posted Game Board which shows what card numbers have been drawn and what numbers are available. Write your full name, just as it appears on your driver’s license or social security card, telephone number AND the number of the available card you’re requesting. Do not use nicknames, initials, group names or abbreviations as this could cause complications when collecting any winnings. Place your ticket with the $5 cash money (No Checks) paperclipped to it, into the black mailbox on the wall. 

If the ticket is not filled out completely and correctly, or the handwriting is not legible, the tickets will be invalid and discarded.
