LANSING, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – A Portage man is no stranger to winning a big jackpot.
62-year-old Dan Housler has formally accepted his Club Keno The Jack record breaking prize of $503,254.
Housler matched his easy pick The Jack numbers – 08-39-48-51-65-66-70-71 – to eight of the 20 Club Keno numbers after buying his winning ticket at Fletcher’s Pub #2 at 3013 Oakland Drive in Kalamazoo.
The previous Club Keno The Jack record was $463,361 which was won in October 2020 at Red’s Sports Bar and Grill in Middleville.
Housler told Lottery officials, “I play Club Keno The Jack when the prize gets to around $100,000. I have been lucky in the past and won a $239,074 prize a few years ago. I bought my ticket and went home from Fletcher’s. When I got there, I checked my wife’s tickets and mine. On my third ticket, the confetti flew on the app screen and the prize appeared on the screen. I was so surprised. I’ve never seen this much money at once in my life.”
Housler plans to invest in his retirement with his latest winnings.
