A Mackay man’s after-work visit to the local bowls club has become an unforgettable moment after picking up a $54,000 win in a recent Keno draw.
The Queensland resident held a Keno Classic 6 Spot winning entry in draw 659, drawn Saturday 30 September 2023, and took home $54,000.
“I feel great!” he exclaimed when an official from Keno called to confirm the life-enhancing win.
“What an amazing way to finish off a long workday.
“I just knocked off, went to the bowls club for a feed, and then suddenly, I’m $54,000 richer!
“I play regularly but I’ve never won something like this!
“When I saw all my numbers on the screen, I couldn’t believe it.
“It’s unreal.”
While the winning man had no immediate plans for his prize, he said he would be sharing it with his family.
His winning Keno Classic 6 Spot entry was purchased at Mackay Northern Beaches Bowls Club, 2 Rosewood Drive, Mackay.
The Mackay Northern Beaches Bowls Club said they were ecstatic to have sold a winning entry to a regular visitor and wished him all the best with his future plans.
In FY23, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 95.42 million wins collectively worth more than $1.34 billion.
