Maryland Lottery player wins $100,008 Keno prize on her birthday
Published in Weird News
(UPI) A Maryland woman celebrated her birthday with a Keno ticket from the Maryland Lottery and earned a $100,008 gift.
The New Carrollton woman told Maryland Lottery officials she was celebrating her birthday Nov. 14 when she bought her $10 Keno ticket from Zach's Liquor in Hyattsville.
"I've been playing the Maryland Lottery since 1985," the woman said. I really like Keno.
The player, who previously won $20,000 from a scratch-off ticket several years ago, won a total prize of $100,008.
"When I saw that $100,000 come up, I said, 'Woooo! Now I can get a new car,'" the winner said.
The winner said some of her prize money will also likely go toward home improvement projects, a trip to Las Vegas and bolstering her savings account.
