An Oxley man has revealed he’s “shocked, surprised and delighted” by his $60,000 Keno win.
The Brisbane player held a Keno 8 Spot winning entry in game 863 on Thursday 21 November 2019 and takes home $60,993.60.
Confirming his win with a Keno official this morning, the man revealed he was having a quiet dinner with his family when the excitement unfolded.
“It’s excellent. Thank you very much,” he laughed.
“It’s not too bad when you’re just sitting around and having a bit of dinner!
“Every now and again my wife and I put on a couple of Keno games for fun so we were absolutely stoked when we realised we’d won!
“It was such a nice surprise. We’re shocked, surprised and delighted!”
When asked how he planned to enjoy his sudden windfall, the south-east Queenslander said his prize had arrived at the perfect time.
“We will do something really special for Christmas,” he said.
“Then we will put the rest on the mortgage.”
The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his winning Keno 8 Spot entry at Oxley Hotel, Cnr Ipswich & Oxley Road, Oxley.
