A Shelby Township woman is rolling in dough after a stop for pizza and a Club Keno ticket on her lunch break led her to winning a record-breaking $822,159 Club Keno The Jack prize!
Sue Strong, 65, matched her easy pick The Jack numbers – 10-26-33-50-56-58-60-67-70 – to nine of the 20 Club Keno numbers drawn in draw 2569809. She bought her winning ticket at Party Palace Liquor Inc, located at 49133 Schoenherr Road in Shelby Township.
“I regularly play Club Keno, and I always add The Jack to my ticket,” said Strong. “I went out and bought a Club Keno ticket and pizza on my lunch break and then watched the drawings on my phone while I ate. When I saw all my The Jack numbers come in and the jackpot reset to $10,000, I was shocked! It was nerve wracking and exciting, and to be honest, I’ve hardly slept since!”
Strong recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim her big prize. With her winnings, she plans to share with family, pay bills, and then save the remainder.
The $822,159 The Jack prize is the largest ever won on the Club Keno game. The previous Club Keno The Jack record was $677,141. That prize was won in March 2025 at JP’s Trolley Stop, located at 8820 Pelham Road in Taylor.
The Jack is a Club Keno add-on game that players may add to their Club Keno wager for $1 per draw. With The Jack, players get nine easy pick numbers to match to the Club Keno numbers drawn. Players may win prizes ranging from $1 to the jackpot. The jackpot starts at $10,000 and grows until it is won. To win the jackpot, players must match all nine numbers.
Club Keno may be played at Lottery retailers across the state. Drawings take place every three and a half minutes. Results and live drawings may be found online at MichiganLottery.com.
In 2024, Michigan Lottery players won more than $387 million playing Club Keno games.
