A Massachusetts man is all about family after hitting big money on a State Lottery game.
According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, Wayne Jackman of Sagamore Beach is the winner of a $120,000 prize after all nine of the numbers he played on his Keno ticket were among those selected in a game drawn on Monday, June 2.
By choosing to add the Bonus multiplier to his wager for an additional $1 per game, Jackman was able to turn a $40,000 prize into $120,000 when the 3x Bonus multiplier was drawn for the game.
Jackman claimed his prize Tuesday, June 3 at Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters in Dorchester. He said he plans to share the winnings with his wife and children.
He bought his winning ticket at Tommy Doyle’s Pub & Grill, 956 Washington St. in South Easton. The restaurant receives a $1,200 bonus for its sale of this ticket.
This is the second Keno prize of $120,000 won in the last month. The other was won at Old South Liquors in Nantucket for a game drawn on Saturday, May 24.
Keno players have the option of selecting from 1 to 12 numbers (spots) to play from a field of numbers from 1 to 80. Prizes and odds of winning vary based on the number of spots played. For each Keno game, a total of 20 winning numbers are randomly selected. Playing Keno Bonus doubles the price of a wager and gives players a chance to multiply their prize 3, 4, 5 or 10 times if a multiplier number is drawn for that game.
