Keno agreement approved by Clearwater village board

Clearwater village officials approved an interlocal agreement with Nebraska Cooperative Government to provide keno when the board met for its monthly meeting on Dec. 9.

Mike Tabbert, co-owner of Two Bills Steakhouse, contacted potential licensed lottery operators and informed village clerk Angie Hupp they chose to work with Nebraska Cooperative Government, which operates Lotto Nebraska, based in Columbus.

NCG has operated since 1989. According to NCG officials, "The system is managed by Lotto Nebraska and has raised $50,000,000 for local participating communities."
