This Kennewick man won $76K on vacation. He’s got his wife to thank

Tony Beck of Kennewick came home from his Oregon family vacation $76,000 richer.

Beck bought a Keno ticket at Dundee’s Bar & Grill in Seaside, Ore., making him the biggest lottery winner the restaurant ever had.

“Honestly, I haven’t played Oregon Lottery Keno, and I wasn’t even sure how to play,” Beck said in a news release from Oregon Lottery. “My wife wanted to play while we were at the place eating, so we did.”

The winner and his wife were visiting with his in-laws when they decided to stop in at Dundee’s. The lucky win came shortly after.

Beck said he planned to spend the money on his family.

“With the kids I have in college and diapers, it will get soaked up,” he said.
