A Canberra woman is still reeling after scoring a life-changing $119,000 win in a recent Keno Mega Millions draw.
The ACT player held a Keno Mega Millions 8 Spot winning entry in game 583 on Friday 26 June 2020, scoring a $119,274 prize.
Confirming her win with an official from Keno today, the winning woman explained she was still on a high.
“I don’t normally watch the draws on my phone, but on Friday night for whatever reason I decided to,” she said.
“When I saw I’d won a major prize, I was at first in disbelief.
“I thought for sure something had gone wrong and maybe it was wrong and I’d misread it.
“It was amazing. Such a great surprise, it was really good!”
When asked how she planned to enjoy her Keno windfall, the Canberra player declared it had come at just the right time.
“It’s certainly going to really come in handy,” she said.
“We’ve just started some renovations around the house so I will be able to get those all done!
“It’s perfect.”
The online winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased her Keno Mega Millions 8 Spot winning entry on the Keno app.
In the 12 months to 30 June 2019, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 64 million wins collectively worth more than $853 million.
During this time, Keno crowned 17 millionaires and multi-millionaires who collectively took home more than $47.2 million. This included a Baxter man who didn’t discover he had won a Keno 10 Spot prize of $1,541,399.90 until a fortnight after the draw.
