Jarred Johnson has made visits to Las Vegas before. He will make some again.
But he might never experience what happened to him approximately one month apart.
Playing Four Card Keno at $20 per spin ($5 for each hand), Johnson hit a 7-spot for $140,000, playing the same machine and same numbers at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
On each keno quadrant, Johnson played 8, 9, 10, 18, 19, 20 and 29 for a $35,000 payout on each of the four cards. He describes the first time this combination hit in September.
“The machine picks all seven numbers in a row … and I screamed out loud, and I tipped my chair back,” he said. “The chair went flying on the floor, I was in tears. It was absolutely shocking.
