We all dream of winning big in the lottery or on our next big casino gamble but most times it is not to be. But every once in a while a player will get lucky and hit a major jackpot. One way to earn a jackpot besides a regular lottery ticket is a Keno game. In many areas keno is similar to lottery as they have a drawing and last week a lucky man from Orangeville, Ontario won $200,000 after playing Daily Keno.

Laldeo Sankar of Orangeville played the Daily Keno game last week and won the $200,000 prize on August 9th. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming commission announced the win after they confirmed that Sanker’s ticket was a winner.

The winning ticket was purchased in Newmarket and Sanker stated that he was home when he realized he had won. He was so excited he could not sleep. The win comes at the right time for Sanker as he is currently unemployed and has two children to take care of. Sanker says he plans on using the win to help his children.
