A Mildura woman has confessed she didn’t know what to do after watching number after number being drawn and realising she’d won a Keno prize of more than $58,000.
The victorious Victorian held a Keno 8 Spot winning entry in draw 52, drawn Friday 3 March 2023, and took home a total prize of $58,600.80.
“I honestly couldn’t believe what I was seeing! I was speechless. I just had no idea what to do!” the winning woman laughed when an official from Keno confirmed her incredible win.
“My numbers have always been special to me.
“They all have some relevance to my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, so this win is for them!
“I’ve got a lot of plans, but I think I’m going to enjoy this moment for a little while before I put any of those plans into action.
“Another member of my family won while playing Keno recently, so it’s been a great few months for our family!
“Thank you so much, this means so much to me!”
The woman’s winning entry was purchased at Mildura Working Man’s Club, 90-124 Deakin Avenue, Mildura.
The Mildura Working Man’s Club said they were over the moon for their winning customer and wished them all the best for the future.
