From a single lottery ticket sold in Oregon came one of the world's biggest jackpots ever, the colossal sum of 340 million dollars. Far greater than any prize won in a keno game, this is the second biggest winning in the United States, ever. Forty-seven additional winners guessed the lucky numbers and received 200 thousand dollars each.
(PRWEB) October 22, 2005 -- Lottery fever was reported in Oregon earlier this week when thousands flocked to buy lottery tickets. Not only residents of the state but also the surrounding states were gripped with keno fever as they rushed to buy tickets. The state of Iowa alone reported the sale of 1,600 keno tickets. The "New York Daily" reported that the gambling residents of the states flocked to the neighboring state of Connecticut, where the draw was being held, in order to buy keno tickets.
The big prize was growing since last August, and after twenty draws with no correct guesses of the lucky numbers, was finally brought to a halt. This is the second largest prize in the history of the American lottery, while the biggest was in the year 2000, with a prize of $363 million. It is expected that with this winning, lottery popularity will rise to ever greater heights. Even in online lottery, keno, a growth spurt was reported in online casinos such as www.keno.cd.
