A St Andrews man is loving life today and is ready for a little getaway after an incredible $78,000 Keno win over the weekend.
The winning Sydney man held a Keno Classic 8 Spot winning entry in draw 997, drawn Friday 24 June 2022. His total prize was $78,010.60.
Speaking with a Keno official today, the man said he was still struggling to process his latest win.
“It’s not sinking in mate!” he said.
“I’m not sure if it will. It was only a few weeks ago that I won something like $20,000 in another Keno draw.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw my numbers come up again!
“It’s going to completely change my life.
“I’ll pay off some bills, maybe go on a holiday and buy my mum whatever she wants!
“It’s surreal, but you’ve got to be in it to win it.
“What a couple of weeks it has been!”
His winning entry was purchased at The Star, 80 Pyrmont Street, Pyrmont.
The Star team said they’re over the moon for their latest major Keno winner and wished him all the best for his future.
