Wichita Resident Wins $14,681 Playing an 8-Spot Keno Ticket!

While playing in a pool league last Thursday, 26-year-old Heidi Potter decided to try her luck playing Keno. The Wichita resident played an 8-Spot Keno with the Bull's-eye option for five consecutive games.  As she watched the winning numbers come up for each of her games, she was shocked to discover she had matched all eight numbers on the fourth game she played, winning $14,681!

"When I was filling out my Keno play slip, I picked two numbers and asked each of my friends to pick two numbers," said Potter.  "I was going to play a 9-Spot, but realized if I played an 8-Spot, I could win the progressive jackpot.  When all my numbers came up, I looked at my friends and said, 'I think I just won $10,000!'"

Players who purchase a 6, 7, or 8-Spot Keno ticket are eligible to win progressive jackpots when they match all numbers on their Keno ticket.  Potter won an additional $4,681 by winning the progressive jackpot, bringing her total winnings to $14,681!

"I hardly buy Keno tickets," said Potter.  "It's always a spur of the moment thing for me.  After the bartender looked up how
much I had won, our team didn't play very well that night.  We were all shocked."

Potter, a student at Butler Community College, plans to save her winnings.  She purchased her winning ticket at Judy's Club, located at 1300 S. Seneca in Wichita.
