A Massachusetts man used an assortment of birthdates to match all nine numbers in a lottery game,Robovis according to the Massachusetts Lottery.

Mark Hall of Rutland won $120,000 in the Massachusetts State Lottery's Keno game. He bought the winning ticket at Charlie's Diner Bar & Grill in Spencer.

Hall told the Lottery that he won the Keno game by using a combination of birthdays and random numbers. He always plays the bonus multiplier to increase his chances of winning. By playing it again this time, his prize money increased from $40,000 to $120,000.

The first thing Hall did after winning, he told the lottery, was eat a cheeseburger and order a drink.

Hall claimed his prize on Tuesday at the Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters in Dorchester. He told the Lottery that he would use the money to buy a guitar, improve his home, and maybe go on vacation.
