A Largs Bay shopper has had a winning start to the week after landing a $50,000 Keno jackpot prize on Sunday.
The South Australian winner scored a Spot 8 prize of $50,000 in Keno draw 2484832, drawn on Sunday 14 April 2019.
However, how the winner plans to use their Keno windfall and enjoy their $50,000 bounty will forever be a mystery as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
SA Lotteries spokesperson Matt Hart said while we might never know how the Largs Bay shopper planned to use their Keno win, he was sure it had delivered a great kick-start to their week.
“What a perfect way to enter a new week with an extra $50,000 in your bank account!” he said.
“From overseas holidays, to splurging on a new car or a boat, many of our Keno winners tell us their prize will be used on long-held dreams, such as the new car or overseas holiday they’ve always dreamed of.
“The ways Keno winners spend their prizes really are as vast and diverse as the players themselves!”
The winning Keno Spot 8 entry was purchased at Alpine Deli, 392 Military Road, Largs Bay.
In the 12 months to 30 June 2018, there were 19 Keno Spot 8, 9 and 10 winners across South Australia, who landed more than $4.52 million.
Spot 10 was won twice during this time – a prize of more than $2.017 million in December 2017 and a prize of more than $1.474 million in April 2018.
Keno is a game whereby 20 numbers are randomly generated from a possible 80. To win a Keno Spot 8 prize, a player must match all eight of the numbers selected on their ticket against the 20 numbers drawn.
