PARKVILLE, MD—A Baltimore man’s itchy hand proved to be lucky for him, leading him to a $40,000 Keno win. The lucky barber purchased his ticket at a Giant Food store at 1955 East Joppa Road in Perring Plaza.

With the $10 wagered on the game, his prize multiplied to $10,000. The Super Bonus applied a 4x multiplier, boosting his final winnings to $40,000. He celebrated by calling his grandmother and sharing the news.
