LANSING, June 26, 2006 – A very lucky Holland woman matched all nine numbers in the 9-spot Club Keno game and won a whopping $50,012 prize! She selected the Kicker option, which multiplied her $25,000 prize by two.
The 26-year-old nurse, who?s now referred to as ?Lucky Lisa?, was so excited when she saw her numbers come up on the screen, she jumped around with everyone in her party. She plans to use the prize money to take a vacation.
The winning own pick ticket was purchased at Volare, 1136 Ottawa Beach Rd., in Holland.
Immediately before each Club Keno drawing, a wheel spins on the Club Keno monitor selects a Kicker number of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10. Players can select the Kicker box on their play slip and pay $1 for each dollar originally wagered. Wins on regular Club Keno drawings will be multiplied by the Kicker number, allowing players the chance to win up to 10 times their original prize amount.
Kicker began on November 20, 2005 in all 2,000 locations selling Club Keno.
Club Keno offers 37 different ways to play and win and with Kicker, up to a $20 million top prize. Players can wager $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $10 or $20 per drawing and tickets can be purchased for up to 20 drawings at a time. Players win Club Keno by matching some or all of the numbers they have selected to the numbers drawn. The more numbers matched, the more the player wins.
