LUCKY LOTTO SHOP: Andrew Spence Pharmacy sold a winning Keno recently
Hawke's Bay's second luckiest Lotto outlet, Andrew Spence Pharmacy, has struck the money again.
But not in the twice-weekly Lotto draw.
The latest big winner came from the four draws a day, seven days a week Keno lottery competition where people pick up to 10 numbers which are part ofa draw of 20 numbers from a pool of 80.
The minimum cost for a line is one dollar.
For one Keno player who bought their ticket last Friday night for the 6pm draw it was a $250,000 result.
It was also way ahead of any other prizes recorded over the past 250 draws, although three punters had picked nine out of 10 numbers to collect $20,000.
A lotteries spokesperson said it was the first 10-number win this year, while there had been two during 2015.
Since Keno began there had been 19 big "10 number" winners.
The Onekawa outlet has sold $32 million of Lotto tickets and Friday's big Keno win has put it high on the list of the country's most successful outlets on that front.
