One excited lady from Lenawee County explained to reporters that winning the $100,000 jackpot playing Club Keno was quite a “surreal experience.”
A photo of Heidi Huber-Stein is on the left. She lives in Clinton, and she won the big prize when her Club Keno numbers – 03-13-19-23-35-40-44-47-53-60 – matched 10 of the 20 Club Keno numbers drawn in draw 1610054 on Aug. 2. She bought the winning ticket at The Village Tap, located at 237 East Main Street in Manchester.
“I was working at the bar and decided to buy a ticket,” said the 49-year-old Huber-Stein. “I scanned the ticket and got a message saying I needed to bring the ticket to Lansing, but I wasn’t sure why. The next day I had a friend check the ticket and that is when I found out I won $100,000!”
Heidi came into Lottery headquarters Tuesday to claim her big jackpot. With her winnings, she and her husband plan to pay off their house, give to charity, and then invest the rest.
“Winning is surreal. You see people win big all of the time, but you never expect that you’ll be a big winner,” Huber-Stein said.
