A Jefferson City resident recently won a five-figure prize when he played Club Keno from the Missouri Lottery.
Lottery officials said John Wehmeyer won $60,477 on an eight-spot ticket he purchased at the Fraternal Order of Eagles 2693 on Missouri Boulevard.
Wehmeyer matched eight of the numbers drawn in an April 11 drawing and added to his winnings by matching the Bulls-Eye number. His prize amount was further increased with a Progressive Jackpot prize, an automatic feature for Club Keno players who match all numbers on a six-, seven- or eight-spot ticket.
Club Keno is a draw game with 20 numbers drawn every four minutes, in which players choose how many numbers or "spots" they want to play.
