A Logan couple’s golden jubilee wedding anniversary turned into a truly magical celebration as they capped off the day with a dazzling $2.3 million Keno jackpot.
The Queenslanders scored the Keno 10 Spot jackpot in draw 533, drawn Monday 2 December 2024 and look forward to a total prize of $2,372,912.70.
Speaking to a Keno official shortly after their win, the winning wife revealed she initially thought they had won a fraction of their multi-million-dollar treasure.
“It’s so surreal! It hasn’t sunk in,” the winning woman shared.
“I thought at first that we’d won $230,000, not $2.3 million!”
“Woo-hoo! We wanted to go to the hotel yesterday for lunch, but it was pouring down rain. We decided to take a rain check,” the winning husband added.
“We went there today to treat ourselves to a celebratory lunch and a game of Keno. We always play the same numbers, which are our birthdates.
“We always pick on each other and say, ‘Your numbers didn’t come up but mine did!’. But this time, all of our numbers came up!
“I’m absolutely speechless. We’re over the moon!”
When asked how they planned to embrace their new status as multi-millionaires, the couple revealed they’d recently retired and now looked forward to helping their children.
“We’re both recently retired, which is perfect timing,” the husband added.
“This is amazing. Thank you very much.”
Their winning entry was purchased at Logan Village Hotel, 135 Albert Street, Logan Village.
