A group of four Cardiff mates’ Super Bowl Monday celebrations took a wild turn yesterday after their shared Keno entry netted them an incredible $1 million prize.
The Lake Macquarie locals scored the Keno Classic 10 Spot jackpot winning entry in draw 112, drawn Monday 12 February 2024 and shared a total prize of $1,009,650.10. When an official from Keno called one member of the winning group, the ecstatic man shared he and his mates only discovered their win today and everyone was ‘happy as Larry’.
“Oh mate, this is unbelievable!” he said.
“We were down here yesterday watching the Super Bowl and decided to go in on a Keno entry together.
“We didn’t think we’d win though!
“I was in the car this morning when I heard there was a mystery winner and I thought, ‘well I better check the ticket’.
“I’ve just called all the boys and they’re over the moon. We’re meeting up for some celebrations this afternoon and then we’ll start thinking about the future.
“We’ll all set our families up, book holidays, put some towards the mortgage – the usual things.
“What a day!”
The winning Keno Classic 10 Spot entry was purchased at Wests Cardiff, 18 Munibung Road, Cardiff.
Wests Cardiff Manager Kelly Burtenshaw said the whole team was over the moon for the winning group.
“This is fantastic! To have had a big Keno win like this in the venue is amazing,” she said.
“A prize like this can change lives so to be part of that is such an amazing feeling.
“We just want to wish our winners all the best for the future.”
