The total jackpot amount was $1,886,536. With just three cards left - #28, #49, or #53 - Houston picked card #28, which was revealed to be the Queen of Hearts. The crowd surrounding Outsider Pub in Waterloo erupted in cheers and applause. A total of 20% of the funds raised from this drawing will benefit the Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School in Waterloo .
