FOREST HILL, MD – A Forest Hill man’s long-time lucky numbers brought him a $50,000 prize in a recent Keno game. Years ago, he chose these numbers randomly during a night out with friends and has stuck with them ever since, occasionally winning modest amounts. This latest win marks his largest Keno prize to date.
The winning moment occurred at Forest Hill Sunoco, where he stopped to refuel. The Harford County resident, who plays his special numbers only when feeling fortunate, bought a seven-spot Keno ticket for three drawings and opted for the Super Bonus multiplier.
Initially, his first game showed no wins. He stored the ticket in his wallet and went home, only to discover later that he had won $50,000. He used the lottery’s mobile app for confirmation and even rechecked the results before sharing the news with his wife. Seeking further confirmation, he visited the Lottery’s website to watch the winning drawing.
The winner plans to use his winnings for a family vacation and to bolster his retirement and savings accounts.
Forest Hill Sunoco, located at 2019 Rock Spring Road, also benefits from the win. The store will receive a $500 bonus from the Lottery, equivalent to 1% of the prize, for selling a winning Keno ticket of $10,000 or more.
