A Maclean woman has relived the moment she watched her favourite eight numbers appear on the Keno screen and walked away with an unforgettable $57,000 win.
The New South Wales player held a Keno Classic 8 Spot winning entry in game 244 on Wednesday 16 November 2021, and took home $57,115.90.
Confirming her win with an official from Keno today, the winning woman explained she’d spent the night in shock.
“I haven’t been playing Keno for long, but when I do, I play the same eight numbers,” she explained.
“But I didn’t expect the win at all yesterday! I watched all eight numbers appear on the screen.
“It was very exciting. I didn’t expect it at all. I was shocked!
“It’s perfect timing. We will put it towards our house!”
The Keno Classic winning entry was purchased at Maclean Hotel, 28 River Street, Maclean.
