LANSING — An Otsego County man has won a $564,219 Club Keno The Jack prize from the Michigan Lottery after purchasing a ticket in Gaylord.
The 45-year-old winner, who chose to remain anonymous, matched nine of the 20 numbers drawn in Club Keno draw 2511072. His winning ticket was bought at the Gaylord South EZ Mart on South Otsego Avenue.
“I play Club Keno every now and then, but I only play The Jack when it gets over $100,000,” the player said in a statement. He explained that he initially felt disappointed to see The Jack had been won, only to learn he was the winner. “I scanned my ticket to check it and was stunned when I found out I was the big winner! All I could think was: ‘What am I going to do with all this money?’ It was a good feeling!”
The man has claimed his prize at Lottery headquarters and plans to invest the winnings…
