Get in on the excitement with Bristol’s newest weekly jackpot raffle at Vigilant Brewing Company.

How to Play
​
To play, purchase raffle tickets at Vigilant Brewing Company, located at 44 Ballou Boulevard, Bristol, Rhode Island, and select the numbered envelope you would like chosen from a game board containing 54 face-down cards, including two jokers. Each numbered envelope corresponds to one hidden card, and the goal is to reveal the 4 of Diamonds.
​
Every Monday at 7:15 PM, one ticket is drawn for a chance to reveal a card. If the selected card is the 4 of Diamonds, the winner receives 50% of the jackpot. The full take home value is listed at the top of this page. If the jackpot is not won, it continues to grow for the following week. Players do not need to be present to win.
