What Were The Winning KENO! Numbers?

His winning numbers of  02-10-11-20-24-45-52-63-66-73 match 10 of the 22 numbers drawn.

 

I regularly play KENO! I checked my ticket after the drawing by pulling up the winning numbers on MichiganLottery.com. When I checked off all 10 of my numbers, I had to go through and recount a few more times. My mom was the first person I told, and she went crazy over the big news! It still feels surreal.

The Anonymous winner recently stopped by Michigan Lottery Headquarters in Lansing and collected his $250,000 payday.

He said that he plans on putting the money into savings.

This lucky Wayne County man isn't the only person to win big playing the Michigan Lottery.
