Toowoomba’s newest major Keno winner might be completely unaware they won more than $131,000 in a recent draw, with officials urging players in the area to check their tickets.
The Darling Downs player held a Keno Classic 9 Spot winning entry in draw 882, drawn Monday 16 May 2022 and takes home a total prize of $131,019.20.
However, the player has yet to check their ticket and discover the windfall.
The winning Keno Classic 9 Spot entry was purchased at Wilsonton Hotel, 40 Richmond Drive, Wilsonton.
The Wilsonton Hotel team hopes to soon deliver the exciting news to their winner.
Last week, a South Toowoomba woman thanked a stroke of serendipity for scoring a $199,000 major Keno win in draw 633, drawn Tuesday, 10 May 2022. If the mystery Wilsonton Keno winner discovers the news soon, they’ll be celebrating alongside this winner.
Keno spokesperson Ally Ramsamy said she encouraged all players who purchased a Keno entry at Wilsonton Hotel to check their tickets as soon as possible, as they may be the mystery winner they're looking for.
“Someone out there could be holding a winning ticket worth more than $131,000 and not even realise it!” she said.
“We’re urging all Keno players from the region to check their tickets today – you could be holding the winning entry!
“Imagine discovering you’re the winner we’re searching for. A major prize would certainly put a spring in your step.
“Past winners have used their prizes to purchase cars, renovate their homes, or go on trips around Australia.
“If you discover you’re holding the winning Keno Classic 9 Spot ticket, hold on tight to it and head into your closest venue as soon as possible so that we can start the prize claim process!”
In 2021, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 36.2 million wins collectively worth more than $590.3 million.
