$150K Windfall From Keno Lotto Ticket Claimed By Hyattsville Man

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — An anonymous Maryland Lottery player from Hyattsville snagged a $150,060 Keno prize on a quick-pick ticket.

“I enjoy watching the horses with Racetrax,” he said. “You figure out what horse to bet on after a while. But Keno is my favorite because I’ve won the most money from it.”

The loyal lotto player purchased the winning ticket at the Sunoco station located at 4836 Kenilworth Avenue in Hyattsville. He opted for an 8-spot, quick-pick ticket for 20 drawings and added the Super Bonus option. In the fifth drawing, all of his numbers came in and the Super Bonus of five quintupled his prize. When he scanned his ticket soon after the purchase, the player was stunned to see the winning message and $150,060, according to the Maryland Lottery.

“I feel very lucky to win,” he said. As for plans for his windfall, the winner remains undecided. “I’m still in shock.”

The Sunoco retailer will receive a $1,500 lottery bonus for selling a winning ticket of $10,000 or more. The bonus is equal to 1% of the prize.
