LANSING, July 23, 2008 – Fred Allos, a bar owner from Rochester Hills, cashed in his second highest Club Keno ticket!

Allos and his sister Fadia played the same own-pick numbers and each cashed in on the $20,005 win. Both siblings were excited with their good fortune.

They won by picking the Kicker option on a 10-spot ticket. They each matched nine of 10 with a 4X Kicker, and zero of 10 to win the prize.

The lucky winning tickets were purchased at Bourbon Jakes Pub & Grill, 1711 E. Auburn Rd., in Rochester Hills.
