A Broken Hill woman has lived up to the nickname of ‘Keno Queen’ after picking up her third major Keno win, this time worth more than $96,000.

The New South Wales woman scored the Keno Classic 8 Spot jackpot in Keno draw 968, drawn Monday 2 February 2026. She can look forward to a total prize of $96,610.

The regular player confessed she was still basking in the excitement of the jackpot win.

“I’m tremendous today!” she exclaimed when speaking to an official from Keno.

“I’m pretty fortunate with Keno. Some of my friends call me a Keno queen!

“This is the most I’ve ever won but I have actually won the 8 Spot twice before.

“My knees were shaking. It’s a pretty exciting feeling.

“I change up my numbers each time. Now that I’ve won the 8 Spot again, I think I might start trying for the 9 Spot.

“I’m going to help out my family first. Everyone’s struggling at the moment so I’d love to help where I can.

“Then I’d also love to take a trip away.

“Thank you so much!”

Her winning Keno Classic entry was purchased at Barrier Social Democratic Club, 218 Argent St, Broken Hill.
