Most of us enjoy buying lottery tickets and playing keno. We look at it as a fun experience where we might win some money, maybe even the big jackpot. Most people do not imagine they will be robbed while playing a game of keno. Well, this past Tuesday a robber attempted to take money from a man who was playing keno at a local store in Massachusetts.

The robber held a knife and attempted to rob the man while he was playing keno. Police say the robber came into Dom’s Variety around eleven am on Tuesday and approached the man with a knife. The customer decided to take matters into his own hands and kicked the guy, who then dropped his knife. The two then fought, knocking over a candy rack, which alerted the store clerk who then called police.

The robber then ran from the store. He is still at large but the customer stated he was wearing a dark colored hooded sweatshirt. Although police suggest people not take matters in their own hands, the customer fought for what was his and he won. Hopefully the criminal will be caught very soon.
