One of my favorite things to do when I go out to the bar with my friends is buying a bunch of pull tabs and playing some club keno.

Most of the time I have fun, but I often come away empty-handed.

Recently a Michigan man was playing club keno and was bummed .to see that someone had won The Jack grand prize.

That was until he realized that he was the big winner.

The man from Otsego County, who chose to remain anonymous, ended up winning $564,219.

The 45-year-old player, matched his easy pick The Jack numbers – 11-23-25-26-29-46-55-59-75 – to nine of the 20 Club Keno numbers drawn in draw 2511072.

He shared with the Michigan Lottery how he found out he was the big winner.

“I play Club Keno every now and then, but I only play The Jack when it gets over $100,000,” said the player. “I bought a ticket for 30 draws, and when I got home, I decided that if the draws were still going, I would go somewhere to have a drink and watch the rest. I got on the Lottery app to see what draw it was on and was bummed when I saw someone had won The Jack. I scanned my ticket to check it and was stunned when I found out I was the big winner! All I could think was: ‘What am I going to do with all this money?’ It was a good feeling!”

There have been several big Michigan Lottery wins over the past couple of months.

About a month ago, a Michigan woman won $1,000,000 after buying a ticket at the grocery store.

Another woman won big with the lottery after her favorite game was sold out, so she played a different one instead.
