May Showers St. Mary’s County Woman
With $30,000 Keno Win
 

(Baltimore) – Yesterday morning started off on a bad note for a St. Mary’s County woman, but by the end of the day she was singing a different tune with a $30,000 Keno win. The 36-year-old was enjoying an evening out with her boyfriend and decided to play a few games of Keno. She selected a few random numbers for her first game.  She then went outside to make a phone call.  When she came back in, she checked her numbers and threw her hands up in excitement as people looked at her in confusion.  “I won,” she yelled.

“Get out!” one of the other players there responded. “I think that has to be the biggest winner they’ve ever had here.” 

The teller checked her ticket for confirmation and gave her the address to the Lottery claim center in Baltimore.  The fortunate woman later put her ticket into a big zip lock bag and kept it secure in her home until the following day.

A defense contractor, originally from Pittsburg, PA, the woman will officially celebrate her birthday on May 12^th, but feels like she’s already received her present. With her winnings, she intends to pay bills, take a vacation and put the rest into her savings.
