A man from Inala has taken home yet another major Keno jackpot, this time scoring an exciting $71,000 win in one of the weekend’s draws – proving that lightning really can strike twice.
The Queenslander scored the Keno Classic 8 Spot jackpot in draw 694, drawn Sunday 11 November 2024 and looks forward to a total prize of $71,857.70.
The seasoned player previously won an 8 Spot jackpot in April when he scored $55,456.40.
“Thank you so much,” he shared when an official from Keno confirmed his good fortune.
“This isn’t my first rodeo. I have won a major jackpot before.
“I won a Keno jackpot earlier this year in April. I won $55,000.
“It’s crazy to win again.
“I just decided to visit my local club and put on a game of Keno for some entertainment.
“As for what I’ll do with the prize, I’m still figuring it out. I haven’t made any definite plans yet, but I’m sure it’ll go to something useful.”
His winning Keno Classic entry was purchased at Inala Hotel, Cnr Freeman & Rudd Streets, Inala.
The Inala Hotel team wished their customer all the very best with the prize and thanked them for their continuous support.
