The 12-number win is a prize record, not a distance question
Mass Keno is a Massachusetts Lottery draw game, and a 12-number selection is one of the many ways a player can mark a ticket. Whether anyone has won on a 12-number pick is a question about draw history and prize records, not about the geography of a casino venue. This article explains what can and cannot be answered about that win record, and then turns to the venue location question that often gets tangled up with it.
The Massachusetts Lottery publishes draw results and winner information through its own official channels. Any claim that a specific person won a 12-number Mass Keno prize must be checked against those published records, not against this article. This article does not hold a database of past winners and cannot confirm or deny any individual win.
What a 12-number Mass Keno play is
Mass Keno lets a player choose how many numbers, or spots, to play on a ticket. A 12-number play means the player selected 12 numbers out of the draw field. The draw then selects a fixed set of winning numbers, and the player is paid based on how many of their 12 selections match the drawn numbers.
The prize for matching a given count of numbers is set by the Massachusetts Lottery's published prize table for that game. The more numbers matched, the higher the prize tier. Matching all 12 selected numbers is the top outcome for a 12-spot play, but the prize amount is fixed by the game's pay table, which the Lottery publishes and updates.

Why the venue location question cannot be answered with a specific building
Mass Keno is not tied to a single casino venue. It is a Massachusetts Lottery product sold through a network of licensed retail locations across the state. There is no single fixed building whose coordinates this article can state, and no single venue row exists in the reference material for this article.
Because no venue row exists, no straight-line distance can be stated to any reference city. The instruction for this article series is to explain the general mechanism and name the official source to check. That is exactly what applies here: the mechanism is a statewide lottery draw game with a retailer network, and the official source is the Massachusetts Lottery.
The fixed geography that does exist
What is fixed is the state boundary of Massachusetts and the fact that Mass Keno is administered by the Massachusetts Lottery. A reader asking "where is the Mass Keno venue" is really asking about a network of retailers, not a single address. The Lottery's own retailer locator is the channel that shows which locations sell Mass Keno tickets and where they sit.
No coordinates, no city, no street address, and no facility count are available for this article to state. Any distance question that assumes a single venue is therefore unanswerable as posed. The honest answer is that the "venue" is a state-level retail network, and the reader should use the Lottery's locator to find the nearest selling location from their own starting point.
What to confirm before you go
If the reader's actual goal is to find a place that sells Mass Keno tickets, the items to confirm are: which nearby retailers are currently active, their hours, and whether the reader's own location is inside Massachusetts. The Lottery's retailer locator is the channel that holds the current list. Retailer participation changes, so a location that sold tickets last month may not sell them today.
If the reader's goal is to check whether anyone has won on a 12-number pick, the items to confirm are: the draw date, the game name exactly as printed on the ticket, and the official winner announcement. The Lottery's draw archive and news releases are the channels that hold those records. No third-party site, including this one, can substitute for the Lottery's own published record.
FAQ
Has anyone ever won Mass Keno with 12 numbers?
This article cannot confirm or deny any individual win. The Massachusetts Lottery publishes draw results and winner information through its official channels, and any claim about a 12-number win must be checked there. The prize structure for a 12-spot play is set by the Lottery's published pay table, but the identity of winners is not something this article holds.
Where is the Mass Keno venue located?
There is no single Mass Keno venue. Mass Keno is sold through a network of licensed Massachusetts Lottery retailers across the state. Because no single building is documented in this article's reference material, no coordinates, address, or straight-line distance can be stated. The Lottery's retailer locator is the official channel to find selling locations from your own starting point.
How do I find the Mass Keno location closest to me?
Start from your own fixed position, not from a venue position, because the venue position does not exist as a single point. Use the Massachusetts Lottery's retailer locator, which shows active selling locations and their addresses. Confirm the location's current status before travelling, since retailer participation changes over time.
