Christmas has come early for a Rosehill man after he unwrapped a $90,000 Keno jackpot win in a recent draw.
The Sydneysider scored the Keno Classic 8 Spot jackpot in draw 814, drawn Tuesday 10 December 2024. He won a total of $92,841.80.
“Thank you very much!” he said when speaking to an official from Keno.
“I’m over the moon. When I checked my numbers, I just felt ecstatic.
“I’ve used the same numbers for a few years now. They’re nothing too special. I just chose numbers I like.
“I guess they’re my lucky numbers now!”
When asked how he planned to use his newfound treasure, the jubilant man shared he intended to keep it low-key.
“Oh, you know, I’ll be doing nothing fancy!” he laughed.
“Bills and things, and it’s great timing for Christmas. I’ll be able to buy plenty of nice presents.”
His winning entry was purchased from Camellia Hotel, 132 James Ruse Drive, Rosehill.
Camellia Hotel general manager Canh Nguyen shared that it felt amazing having a massive Keno win at his venue.
“We’re very excited! This is one of our first big Keno-winning entries we’ve sold,” he said.
“We’re thrilled for our winning patron. Our team at Camellia would like to send a big congratulations to them. They definitely deserve a nice long Christmas holiday.
“Thank you to everyone for the support. Here’s to another big win soon!”
