Fall River establishment has $100,000 Massachusetts State Lottery Keno winner

A Fall River establishment had a big winner on a State Lottery game that typically doesn’t result in life changing money.

According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, the Italian Progressive Club on Slade Street had a $100,000 Keno winner on Saturday.

How does one win $100,000 playing Keno?

In this instance…

– Played the 9 spot with a $5 wager and Keno Bonus

– Matched 8 out of 9 for $4,000 with a Bonus of 5X

= $5 x $4,000 = $20,000 with multiplier of 5x = $100,000

How Keno works is you select from one to twelve numbers (spots) to play, and then select your numbers from 1-80 that correspond with how many numbers (spots) you want to play. You can select the numbers manually or choose Quic Pic for the Lottery computer to randomly select your numbers. Each number (spot) offers unique prizes and odds of winning. You then select how much you want to wager on each drawing from $1 to $20. For a chance to multiply your prizes up to 10 times, mark Keno Bonus to double the price of your wager. Keno Bonus is not available on the 10-Spot, 11-Spot, or 12-Spot.

Winning odds on the game range from 1 in 4 (matching 1 number in 1 spot game) to 1 in 478,261,833.14 (matching 12 numbers in 12 spot game) depending on which option(s) you select.

IPC is no strange to big Keno wins. In November, there were $50,000 and $15,000 winners on the same day.

The name of the $100,000 winner was not released.
