A Bundaberg woman has been left overwhelmed with emotion, struggling to hold back tears over the weekend after discovering her staggering $2.4 million win in a recent Keno draw.

The Wide Bay-Burnett resident scored the Keno Classic 10 Spot jackpot in draw 600, drawn Friday 20 February 2026. She looks forward to a total prize of $2,475,786.70.

Remarkably, she was one of three Queenslanders who scored a Keno Classic 10 Spot jackpot over the weekend.

“I feel like crying again!” she shared when an official from Keno confirmed the win this morning.

“I’m pretty stoked. I visit the local club all the time.

“Everyone just saw my reaction when it happened on Friday. I was very shocked.

“It’s quite surreal. I’ll be able to finally fix my house, which has been a really long time coming!

“I can take myself on a holiday too! I would love to go to Greece and Cyprus.

“And of course, most importantly, I’ll be seeing a financial adviser!

“I just need some time to comprehend it all.”

Her winning Keno entry was purchased at Sandhills Sports Club, Whalley Street, Bargara.

Sandhills Sports Club operations manager Sue Whiting said she was so excited to see a local patron score a major Keno prize.

"Our whole team is absolutely thrilled to have played a part in such a life-changing win. It's moments like these that remind us of the joy and excitement Keno brings to our community,” she said.

"Seeing a deserving local win $2.4 million is just incredible. We couldn't be happier for her and hope this prize opens up amazing opportunities for her future!

Congratulations to the winning woman and we wish her all the best with her prize.”
