LANSING, September 22, 2005 – A very lucky Warren man won $10,000 when he matched eight of 10 numbers in a ten-spot Club Keno game. Normally the prize for matching eight numbers is $500, but Rick Beresford wagered $20 per draw to multiply his prize! 

Beresford, a 32-year-old manager said he hid the winning ticket in his shoe for safe keeping. He and his wife do not have any plans for the money, yet. In his spare time the lucky winner enjoys poker and golf.

He purchased the winning ticket at Gator Jakes, 36863 Van Dyke, in Sterling Heights.

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. 

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.
