“Bullseye Keno is my go-to game whenever I play online,” said the 69-year-old-player, who chose to remain anonymous. “I hardly ever play $10 wagers, but on my very last game of the night I did a $10 wager on whim.
“When $125,000 came up on the screen with flashing lights, I thought it was some sort of scam pop-up at first. Once I saw my account balance, I knew it was real. I couldn’t believe it!”
The player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. With his winnings, he plans to help his kids, complete home improvements, and save for retirement.
“This prize is a gamechanger for me. I don’t have any new or crazy plans for the money; it just gives me a bigger budget for all the things I already had planned.”
