Arenac County Player Claims $125,000 Michigan Lottery Bullseye Keno Prize

A 69-year-old player from Arenac County has claimed a $125,000 prize from the Michigan Lottery’s Bullseye Keno online instant game after making a $10 wager on his final game of the night.

The player, who has chosen to remain anonymous, recently visited Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim the prize. The award came from an online play rather than a draw-based game, with the winning amount appearing on the player’s screen after the game ended.

Bullseye Keno was the player’s preferred game when playing online. He said he rarely played $10 wagers, making the final-game bet an unusual choice within his own online play.

The $10 wager was placed during the last game he played that night. When the game finished, the screen displayed a $125,000 prize accompanied by flashing lights.

The player did not immediately assume the notification was genuine. He initially thought the message might be a scam pop-up, then checked his Michigan Lottery account balance to verify the result.

The account check confirmed the win and the $125,000 prize. The player later went to Michigan Lottery headquarters to claim the award, completing the part of the event that followed the online game result.

The Arenac County player plans to divide the winnings among several existing priorities. He intends to use the money to help his children, complete home improvements and save for retirement.

The prize will give him a larger budget for plans he had already made. Those plans include support for his family, work on his home and money reserved for his later years.

Bullseye Keno is one of the Michigan Lottery’s online instant games. The online instant-game selection includes prizes ranging from $1 to multimillion-dollar jackpots.

The Michigan Lottery online platform offers more than 200 games. Plays on the platform cost between 5 cents and $50, putting the player’s $10 Bullseye Keno wager within the range of available play amounts.

Michigan Lottery online games launched in 2014. More than 1 million players had registered for online games, according to the Michigan Lottery. The Arenac County player’s claim is tied to that online platform and its Bullseye Keno offering.
