A Culburra Beach man believes he’s had a Keno winning streak after confirming his recent $55,000 win was his third major win this month.

The coastal New South Wales player held a Keno Classic 8 Spot winning entry in draw 19, drawn Friday 15 July 2022 and took home a total prize of $55,947.60.

Confirming his win with an official from Keno, the elated man said the win had come at the perfect time.

“It’s pretty amazing to win, mate!” he proclaimed.

“I’m had a little bit of a streak. I’ve won with a couple of Keno Classic 6 Spot entries recently, which has been great, but nothing compares to this.

“I recently bought myself a new Ute and life has been great, but with this win, I think it’s only going to get better.

“I’ll pay some bills, put some of the winnings away for a rainy day and share the rest with my family.

“It’s great fun and I always enjoy having a go so I’m feeling great today.

“Thanks so much.”

His winning Keno Classic 8 Spot entry was purchased at Culburra Bowling & Recreation Club, Corner of Price Edward Avenue & West Crescent, Culburra Beach.

The team at Culburra Bowling & Recreation Club said they were ecstatic for their winning customer and wished him all the best for his future.
