Mass. man wins big Keno prize after matching 9 numbers on ticket bought at popular pub

A Massachusetts man took home a big Keno prize after he matched all nine numbers on a ticket he purchased at a popular pub on Monday. Wayne Jackman, of Sagamore Beach, won $120,000 while playing Keno at Tommy Doyle's Pub & Grill in Easton, according to state lottery officials. By choosing to add the bonus multiplier to his wager for an additional $1 per game, Jackman turned a $40,000 prize into $120,000 when the '3x bonus multiplier' was drawn for the game, officials said. Jackman told the Lottery that he plans to share his winnings with his wife and children. Tommy Doyle's receives a $1,200 bonus for its sale of this ticket. There was another $120,000 Keno prize won on a ticket sold at Old South Liquors in Nantucket on May 24. Download the FREE Boston 25 News app for breaking news alerts.

‘That's prime time real estate': Bostonians react to potential skyline change of Fenway Park

Fenway Park views may never look the same. That's if a major development project is approved to build a 200-million-dollar, seven-story, 250-thousand-square-foot office space that would tower over the Green Monster, replacing the two-story parking garage. The proposed construction is a part of the 'Fenway Corners' project, which aims to redevelop and reimagine the area outside Fenway Park. So far, Bostonians seem receptive to the possible change, some say they wouldn't mind the change, while others say it'll benefit it. 'Oh wow!' Said Bostonian Colleen Kolodzie. 'That's prime time real estate, yeah.' 'It would bring more people and more businesses and shops and everything like that, so that's a great idea.' Said resident Brett Weaver. While it would mostly be office space, the plans include adding retail on parts of Lansdowne Street. 'I think it's a great idea," said Bostonian Tom Geyer. 'I think other states do it, and other ballparks do it, bring revenue to the area.' However, some people are against the potential change. Boston resident Chris Gonzalez says that it could alter the view of the Boston skyline, with the potential of the building blocking the iconic Citgo sign. 'Yeah, I don't think I really like that because then it's blocking a lot of things that people enjoy about this view and this avenue here and this street so I think it would prevent a lot of people from kind of seeing like the brightness and the wide side of the city itself.' If approved, construction of the building would take place next summer, and finish two years after that. This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.

New bar dedicated to showing women's sports to open in Boston: The Sports Bra

A bar dedicated to showing exclusively women's sports expanded to four new cities, including the City of Champions. The Sports Bra, based out of Portland, Oregon, announced on Tuesday they will be opening locations in Boston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, and St. Louis.

'The first four franchises of The Sports Bra will join our OG Portland location to become the 'Starting Five,'' founder and CEO Jenny Nguyen said. 'Together, we're serving fans nationwide who are hungry for spaces that not only champion women's sports, but create a community where everyone feels like they belong. There is no better moment than this to open these places.' The menu boasts a wide variety of barroom favorites, including wings and burgers. They also include vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free menu options, along with signature cocktails. Nguyen said each new location will be locally owned and operated, although the location in Boston has not yet been announced.
