A Genesee County man is planning to invest in his small business after winning $500,000 playing the Michigan Lottery’s Club Keno game.

The lucky 52-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, won $100,000 when his Club Keno numbers – 04-16-19-37-39-57-60-66 – matched eight of the 20 Club Keno numbers drawn in draw 1650209 on Nov. 28. Thanks to a 5X Kicker, the player’s prize was multiplied to $500,000. He bought the winning ticket at Captain Joe’s, located at 9901 North Main Street in Whitmore Lake.

“I checked my ticket later in the evening after I bought it and saw I won $500,000,” said the player. “I was pretty shocked!

“Winning this comes at a great time. I just completed some home renovations and now I can make sure they are paid off early. I’ll invest the rest in my small business.”

The player visited Lottery headquarters Tuesday to claim the big prize.

One of the Lottery’s most popular games, Club Keno gives players 37 different ways to play and win. Players select up to 10 numbers to match from one to 80, with prize amounts determined based on the amount the player wagered. Club Keno may be played at Lottery retailers across the state. Drawings are every three and a half minutes. Results and live drawings may be found online at http://www.michiganlottery.com.

In 2017, Lottery players won about $423 million playing Club Keno, The KICKER, and The Jack.
