Joker's Wild Contest

Beginning Thursday, January 1, 2026, Ruggles Social Club (Ruggles) will offer a NEW contest called the Joker's Wild. The Joker’s Wild board consists of a total of 157 facedown cards, numbered 1 through 157. This consists of three decks of playing cards, including 12 Aces, and one Joker card.

Ruggles will fund the contest to start at $25,000. The Grand Prize will increase and accumulate once ticket sales have exceeded $25,000 until there is a winner. Ruggles will make every effort to announce the amount of daily ticket sales at the Club and through Ruggles Social Media pages

Tickets purchased for contest entry shall only contain only one (1) name and one (1) telephone number on the ticket. If a drawn ticket contains more than one name and telephone number, that ticket shall be considered null and void.

Tickets sales will recommence nightly at 8:30 pm.

DRAWINGS

Ruggles will have a nightly drawing at 8:15 pm once ticket sales reach a minimum $1,500. If a minimum of $1,500 in ticket sales has not been reached by 8 pm, there will be no drawing. The next potential drawing will occur the following night at 8:15 pm.

Example: On Monday, daily ticket sales reach $1,200. There would be NO drawing on Monday.

On Tuesday, daily ticket sales reach $1,900 bringing total ticket sales to $3,100.

There would be one (1) ticket drawn on Tuesday at 8:15 pm and one (1) ticket drawn on Wednesday

at 8:15 pm. The remaining $100 will rollover into ticket sales for Thursday’s potential drawing.

Only one (1) ticket will be drawn nightly. The written card number will be revealed to determine if that player is a winner. It is the player’s responsibility to have all tickets placed in the drum before the drawing.

There is NO carryover of tickets. Each night there is a drawing and there is NO winner, all tickets from that drawing will be destroyed. There will be a new set of tickets sold for the next drawing. This process will continue until a winner is determined.

Ruggles will livestream ALL Joker’s Wild drawings. Interested persons may watch at Ruggles Blue – Cincinnati on Facebook.
