LANSING, April 15, 2008 – A very lucky 59-year-old won big when her 10-spot Club Keno ticket won a huge amount of money! She scored even more when she selected the kicker option!

The lucky winner matched three different times on the same ticket. She matched nine of 10 with a 2X kicker, five of 10 with a 2X kicker and zero of 10 with a 1X kicker for a grand total of $10,009!

The lucky regular Lottery player picked her own numbers and plans on investing the money. She enjoys golfing and gardening in her free time.

The winning ticket was purchased at Bottoms Up Food & Spirits, 14007 Dixie Hwy., in Holly.
