Women credits co-worker for helping win $197,296 from Michigan Lottery Club Keno game
View Date:2024-12-23 16:22:48
A Michigan woman is crediting her co-worker named Jack for helping her win $197,296 from the Club Keno The Jack drawing from the Michigan Lottery.
Shawna Foerster, 40, bought her winning lottery ticket at Bruno's Bar, located at 226 North Clinton Avenue in St. Johns, which is about 25 miles north of Lansing.
"I was about to start my shift at Bruno's and had $10 in my pocket, so I decided to buy a Club Keno ticket," Foerster told the Michigan Lottery.
Before she chose to put her ticket in the lottery terminal, her co-worker Jack suggested she add The Jack to her ticket. She listened to Jack, and the rest was history.
"Later in my shift, I scanned the ticket on the terminal, and it printed a receipt saying I needed to claim my prize at the Lottery office," Foerster said. "I figured I had won $1,000 or so, it wasn't until later when I downloaded the Lottery app and scanned my ticket that I realized I had won $197,296."
She matched eight of the 20 Club Keno numbers drawn in draw 2238942 to her easy pick, The Jack numbers: 01-07-11-13-36-46-55-57.
Foerster visited Michigan Lottery to claim her prize and plans to pay for her daughter's college education with the winnings, saving the rest.
"Winning this prize is life changing for my family," Foerster said. "It means we'll be able to save for a rainy day and not worry as much about having a cushion to fall back on."

What is the Club Keno?
Club Keno is a Michigan Lottery draw game where players can win up to $2 million. When playing this game, you get to choose how many numbers (called spots) you want to play per draw. You can choose from 1 to 10 spots. The prize you can win depends on the number of spots you choose.
What is The Jack?
Adding to their Club Keno wager for as little as $1 per draw, players can opt for The Jack, which is an add-on game of Club Keno. With The Jack, players get eight easy-pick numbers to match against the Club Keno numbers drawn. The prizes can range from $1 to the jackpot. The jackpot starts at $10,000 and grows until it is won. To win the jackpot, players must match all eight numbers.
Odds of winning Club Keno?
The odds of winning Club Keno depend on how many numbers a player is trying to match. For instance, if a player decides to play the 10 Spot Game, the odds of matching all 10 numbers are 1 in 8,911,711.18.
The odds of winning Club Keno with The Jack add-on is 1 in 230,115 to match eight numbers.
