A Burleigh Heads man is thanking a set of numbers he picked on the spur of the moment for his $54,000 Keno windfall on the weekend.
The Gold Coast resident held a Keno Classic 6 Spot winning entry in draw 480 on Saturday 14 January 2023.
“I usually play 5 Spot, 6 Spot or 7 Spot, depending on my mood,” the regular player explained when confirming his win with an official from Keno.
“On the weekend, I went with a 6 Spot and picked the numbers as I filled out the coupon.
“Then I saw the draw in the corner of my eye. I thought, ‘oh sh**! They’re my numbers!’.
“I panicked thinking it was the draw after the last game of my ticket, but then $54,000 flashed up on the screen and I knew I’d won!
“This is the biggest Keno win I’ve ever had and a great way to start the year.
“I’m going to use it to pay off the house, which will be a great feeling!”
The man’s winning entry was purchased at Burleigh Town Hotel, Cnr Tsipura & Township Drive, Burleigh Heads.
