A Greenwell Point man says he’s stoked to have started the week with a $64,000 Keno win.
The New South Wales resident held a Keno Advanced winning entry in game 686 on Monday 8 July 2019 scoring a prize of $64,592.90.
Confirming his win with a Keno official this morning, the winner revealed it was hard to find the motivation to work today after receiving the exciting prize.
“Thank you very much,” he laughed.
“I feel awesome! But I still had to go to work today which was a bit tough.
“It’s great. It’s really good!
“I’m a regular Keno player. I’ve won plenty of prizes in the past but this is the biggest prize by far!”
The winner shared he had plenty of plans for his Keno fun money.
“It’s going on the mortgage, that’s for sure,” he declared.
“And then we will put it towards a holiday to Thailand to celebrate!”
The player, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his entry at Greenwell Point Hotel, 95 Greenwell Point Road, Greenwell Point.
In 2018, Keno crowned 16 millionaires and multi-millionaires who collectively took home more than $36.47 million. Ten of these major winners were from New South Wales and the ACT.
New South Wales players win $43.26 million each month on average playing Keno in pubs and clubs across the state.
Last year in New South Wales alone, players bought 43.26 million Keno tickets and won $519.06 million in cash prizes, including 973 individual 7, 8, 9, and 10 Spot jackpot prizes.
More chances to win!
In late 2017, Keno released Mega Millions – a higher jackpot version of the current “Classic” Keno that uses the same Keno ball draw but gives players the chance to win $5 million or more every three minutes with a spend of $2 – just $1 more than the current game.
Keno is a fun, easy game that is played approximately every three minutes. Twenty numbers are drawn from the 80 available on the Keno display screen. Players simply match their numbers to the numbers drawn for a chance to win over $1,000,000 for as little as $1 per game.
