Boomtown Reno Winner Andrew Riddell Marks Up $50,506 Keno Win
The Half Moon Bay, California operating engineer, wife Mariko and mother Grace Riddell visit Boomtown three or more times a year to enjoy the friendly atmosphere. On a recent visit, they were getting ready to return home when Andrew decided to play one last ten-game ticket at six dollars a game, choosing the same numbers he often plays. The numbers were lucky this time as the eight-year Player's ClubSM member hit a solid eight and two four-spots, marking up a big $50,506 payout on his very last ticket!
And that wasn't the end of their Boomtown luck. Just hours before, Andrew's mother Grace was playing a 25-cent Ten Times Pay slot near the Keno counter when she marked up a big $1,500 payday.
Amid the excitement, the Riddells didn't make plans for the winnings, but did make plans for the rest of day. "Now, we're sure going to stay one more night at Boomtown," Grace said. "It's the only casino we go to!"
