An Oakland County man was left speechless after seeing all 10 of his numbers selected in the Michigan Lottery’s KENO! game.
The lucky 71-year-old player, who chose to remain anonymous, matched 10 of the 22 numbers drawn Feb. 11 to win the game’s $250,000 top prize. His winning numbers were: 12-27-34-50-52-58-59-69-76-77. He bought his winning ticket at Oakland Liquor, located at 19606 West 10 Mile Road in Southfield.
“I always say: ‘You can’t win if you don’t play,’” said the winner. “I’ve been playing KENO! for years and buy one ticket each week with seven draws.
“When I checked the winning numbers on Feb. 11 and saw all of mine listed, I was speechless. I still am letting this big win sink in, it’s incredible.”
The player visited Lottery headquarters recently to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to pay bills and buy a new home.
KENO! tickets may be purchased for $1. Players select 10 numbers from one to 80 for a chance to win prizes ranging from a free instant ticket up to $250,000. Drawings for the game take place at 7:30 p.m. seven days a week.
