A man from Jimboomba is one step closer to kicking back and living the good life with a $62,000 Keno win set to fast-track his retirement dreams.
The Logan resident scored the Keno Classic 8 Spot jackpot in draw 327, drawn Saturday 10 May 2025, and looks forward to a neat $62,283.00.
This marks the second major Keno win to hit the Logan region this year, boosting the area's total prize haul to $152,048.10.
“Thanks a lot! I’m in disbelief,” he laughed when an official from Keno confirmed the windfall.
“There’s a lot of shock!
“You have the best job ringing people and telling them they’ve won money!
“We like to visit the Veresdale Hotel. It’s a regular spot for us but we never expected to win anything – it’s definitely the most I’ve ever won in my entire life.
“I haven’t told a soul. I’ll probably keep it quiet.
“This will definitely be put towards retirement.
“Cheers Keno!”
His winning entry was purchased at Veresdale Hotel, 6202 Mount Lindesay Highway, Veresdale.
