GRATIOT COUNTY, Mich. (WNEM) – A Gratiot Co. man is now $250,000 richer after finding out that his KENO! prize ticket was a winner.
The lucky winner, who chooses to remain anonymous, matched 10 of the 22 numbers drawn to win the game’s $250,000 top prize, the Michigan Lottery said.
“I have been playing KENO! every day for years, but this specific set of numbers I started playing about six months ago,” said the winner.
The ticket was bought at the Meijer gas station in Alma located on 7420 North Alger Road.
“I checked my ticket by scanning it at a lucky spot scanner and got a message to file a claim, which I’d never seen before. My wife looked up the winning numbers, which is when I found out I’d won $250,000,” the winner said. “Winning a large lottery prize like this is a wild feeling, but also a huge blessing!”
The man intends to use his winnings to pay for bills and buy a new car.
