Gail Mirabito Ecstatic About Keno Win
Gail Mirabito did not consider herself a fortunate person, but her perspective changed last month when Mirabito, a resident from Cornelius, won all 8 numbers on her 8 number special keno ticket.Gail and her husband, Mike, were eating out at the Prime Time Sports Bar and Restaurant in Forest Grove when she decided to indulge in a game of keno. Choosing the numbers on the ticket is a routine that Mirabito has done for a long time now.
She said that for the past 5 years, she has spent a total of $30 per week, winning small amounts of cash before winning the big one.
But that evening, Mirabito had been carefully watching the numbers on the screen and was having difficulty deciding whether she should play the 8 spot or pass on the opportunity.
Mike Mirabito then asked his wife whether she would play the 8 spot. Gail told her husband that she was not sure. Next thing she knew, she won the $33,272 jackpot prize.
When asked how much money she’d spent playing keno, she said that she does not want to think about it. The ongoing joke is that she has now broken even. She now plans to take a vacation to Ireland and she has no intention of stopping to play keno, even with this big win.
