Keno with Multiplier ticket wins Iredell County women record $150,000 prize

The largest Keno win to date of $150,000 goes to Bonnie Curtis and Erin Blankenship of Statesville.

The two purchased their winning ticket for the Dec. 28 drawing at Big Al’s Pub & Grubberia on River Highway in Mooresville.

Curtis and Blankenship claimed their prize Friday. They split the $150,000 and each took home $53,063 after required federal and state tax withholdings.

Carolina Keno lets you choose how many numbers, or spots, you play and your choice determines your odds and the prize you play for.

Their big win came with a $10 Keno with Multiplier ticket. They played a 9-spot game and matched nine spots in the drawing to win $30,000. The prize was multiplied to $150,000 when the 5X was drawn.

AWESOME

Hey guys look at the "how to play" Keno. If they played $1 per draw for 10 draws, that would be a $10 ticket. So on one of those draws they hit 9 on a 9 spot.

Marc L, I would guess that there's a typo and that they had only 8 matches. 8 matches wins you $3k x $10 ticket = $30k x 5X = $150k.

My math must be wrong. Getting all 9 numbers on a 9-spot is $30K in itself, if they played a $10 ticket as you state wouldn’t that be $300K ($10 ticket x $30K) then $1.5M (5X multiplier x $300K)?
