A Kallangur woman has confessed she couldn’t believe what had happened when she discovered she’d bagged a Keno jackpot worth more than $442,000.
The Queenslander scored the Keno Classic 9 Spot jackpot in draw 273, drawn Sunday 4 February 2024 and took home a total prize of $442,606.90.
“Oh my god, this is actually real!” the winning woman screamed when an official from Keno called to confirm her win.
“I couldn’t believe it then and I can scarcely believe it now!
“We were just enjoying our afternoon and I looked up and said to my husband, ‘I think I’ve got eight out of nine numbers there.’
“That would have been amazing!
“Then I checked the entry and immediately went into shock at the win.
“It’s just life changing. The priority for us is to just make sure we have some serious fun in the future!
“We’re going on a holiday soon so it’ll add a bit of extra spending money and then we can look to set ourselves and our family up for the future.
“How amazing!”
Her winning Keno Classic 9 Spot entry was purchased at Kallangur Tavern, 1517 Anzac Avenue, Kallangur.
Kallangur Tavern spokesperson Sarah Lewis said they were celebrating having one of their patrons score a major Keno prize.
“Seeing one of our patrons win big with Keno is always fantastic and generates such a positive atmosphere in our venue that everyone feels like they’ve shared in the win too,” she said.
“As you can imagine, Keno wins like this become a talking point here for a long time to come.
“Kallangur Tavern is no stranger to Keno wins, but we’re always excited to see another one come our way.
“We wish our winner the very best with their prize!”
