LANSING, March 24, 2005 – A very lucky Kentwood man is $10,000 richer after he matched all seven numbers in a seven-spot Club Keno game. The match usually pays out $2,000, but since he wagered $5 per draw he upped the winnings to $10,000!

The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, said he plans to pay off credit card debt with his winnings. He purchased the winning ticket at Adriatic Restaurant, 3097 Broadmoor SE, in Kentwood.

Club Keno is a fun, fast, continuous action game with drawings every five minutes. Players can wager $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $10 or $20 per drawing and tickets can be purchased for up to 20 drawings at a time. Players win Club Keno by matching some or all of the numbers they have selected to the numbers drawn. The more the numbers matched, the more the player wins. Club Keno drawings take place seven days a week, every five minutes, from 6:05 a.m. to 1:45 a.m. Club Keno celebrated its 1 year anniversary during the month of October.

All proceeds from the Lottery are contributed to the state School Aid Fund which supports kindergarten through 12th grade public education in Michigan. In fiscal year 2004, the contribution was $644.8 million.
