LANSING, March 13, 2008 – A very lucky teacher matched all eight numbers in an 8-Spot game, plus a smaller win to total a $10,004 Club Keno prize!

The anonymous winner said she “couldn’t believe it” when she won. She used her birthday numbers to place her own-pick wager.

The winning ticket was purchased at Colonial Lanes, 6430 W. Pierson Rd., in Flushing.

Club Keno offers 37 different ways to play and win. 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.
