A Massachusetts man used an assortment of birthdates to match all nine numbers in a lottery game, according to the Massachusetts Lottery.
Mark Hall of Rutland won $120,000 in the Massachusetts State Lottery's Keno game. He bought the winning ticket at Charlie's Diner Bar & Grill in Spencer.
Hall told the Lottery that he won the Keno game by using a combination of birthdays and random numbers. He always plays the bonus multiplier to increase his chances of winning. By playing it again this time, his prize money increased from $40,000 to $120,000.
The first thing Hall did after winning, he told the lottery, was eat a cheeseburger and order a drink.
Hall claimed his prize on Tuesday at the Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters in Dorchester. He told the Lottery that he would use the money to buy a guitar, improve his home, and maybe go on vacation.

Keno games involve selecting 20 winning numbers at random. Playing Keno Bonus doubles the wager cost, but gives players a chance to increase their prize by three, four, five or 10 times if a multiplier number is drawn for that game.
What are the odds of winning Keno?
The probability of matching 10 numbers is one in 184,230.
