Austintown trustees OK continuation of Dyngles drawing

AUSTINTOWN — Township trustees approved the continuation of the Queen of Hearts drawing at Barry Dyngles.

Trustees said today they heard positive things after alterations made to the drawing at the pub, 1601 S. Raccoon Road, that had a smaller crowd for its drawing Sunday night.

That was due to changing the rule that the owner of the ticket pulled need not be present to win 100 percent of the jackpot. That jackpot reached more than $1.23 million Sunday night and tickets will be sold until the next drawing, 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

Due to a smaller crowd than previous weeks, Raccoon Road remained open during Sunday’s drawing.

“It was just a beautiful night,” said Ken Carano, Austintown trustee.

The pub hired 10 off-duty police officers to work the drawing Sunday night, but that could be a lower total next time.
