A Gold Coast Keno player became a millionaire yesterday afternoon – but may not yet have realised their good fortune.
The mystery Gold Coast player held a Keno 10 Spot winning entry in game 204 on Thursday 5 December 2019, and takes home $1,705,678.60.
Keno officials have yet to hear from the unknown winner and are urging the region’s players to check their tickets today.
The winning Keno 10 Spot entry was purchased at The Star Gold Coast, Broadbeach Island, Broadbeach.
The win is the ninth Keno 10 Spot jackpot to be won in Queensland so far this year.
Keno spokesperson Matt Hart said he was eager to unite the mystery Gold Coast player with their prize.
“We love delivering life-changing news and we can’t wait to confirm this massive win with our latest Keno millionaire,” he said.
“If you had an entry into yesterday’s Keno draws, you’re in with a chance and it’s worth checking your ticket today. You could be the mystery 10 Spot winner we’re looking for.
“Just imagine how your plans for the rest of the weekend and the rest of your life might change with more than $1.7 million dropping into your bank account.
“Players can check their tickets at any Keno venue or by checking the results at keno.com.au.”
