Luck was with a Missouri Lottery player when the 8-Spot Club Keno ticket he purchased at Fitters 5th Street Pub, 500 S. Ohio St. in Sedalia, matched eight numbers drawn in a Dec. 17 drawing.
“I was surprised!” the winner said. “You don’t think you’re going to get it!”.
By matching those eight numbers on an 8-Spot ticket, he won a base prize of $10,000. Since he had also played the optional Bulls-Eye feature, his prize was increased to $50,000. The winnings continued to grow because Club Keno also features an additional Progressive Jackpot prize to any top-prize wins on 6-, 7- or 8-Spot games. When totaled, his final prize amount came to $52,218.
Coincidently, the same pub had another a large Keno winner less than a year ago. A Keno ticket purchased at Fritters for a Jan. 18, 2024, drawing also matched eight numbers on an 8-Spot ticket. Since the player had added the Double Bulls-Eye feature, that prize totaled $125,885.
Club Keno is a fast-paced Draw Game, with drawings held every four minutes. The game can be played at social environment locations such as restaurants, bars and fraternal organizations, as well as convenience stores, grocery stores and similar Missouri Lottery retail locations.
In FY24, players in Pettis County won more than $9.6 million in Missouri Lottery prizes, retailers received more than $872,000 in commissions and bonuses, and more than $806,000 in Lottery proceeds went to education programs in the county.
