Sept. 14 (UPI) — An accidental replay of the wrong Club Keno ticket ended up winning a Michigan couple a $136,660 lottery prize.
The 78-year-old Washtenaw County woman told Michigan Lottery officials she and her husband played Club Keno during a recent night out.
“My husband and I were out at a restaurant for a reunion, and we each purchased a Club Keno ticket while we were there,” the player said. “After the reunion, we stopped at another bar, and my husband accidentally replayed my Club Keno ticket instead of his.”
The ticket’s easy pick The Jack numbers — 07-16-19-23-25-46-55-68-74 — ended up matching nine of the 20 Club Keno numbers in draw 2634271.
“Shortly after, we saw all my The Jack numbers come up on the screen and found out we’d won $136,660. It was so unexpected but incredible to say the least! This money will allow us to be able to breathe,” the woman said.
The couple said some of their winnings will go toward helping their grandkids pay for college.
