A long-overdue honeymoon is at the top of the list for a Pakenham woman who scored a blissful $111,000 in Keno over the weekend.
The victorious Victorian held a Keno Mega Millions 8 Spot winning entry in draw 955, drawn Sunday 11 December 2022, and took home a total prize of $111,426.90.
“It’s so surreal. I can’t believe it,” she laughed when an official from Keno reached out to the winning woman.
“I had to look three or four times to make sure it was real – I’ve screenshotted it many times too!
“It’s the biggest win I’ve ever had, so it was a real shock. I was at work when the win happened. It was hard to hide my emotions and keep it discrete!
“I chose this set of numbers on a whim. I thought to myself, ‘I like this pattern. Let’s go for it!’. Little did I know it would deliver a win like this!
“It’s a great win to have right before Christmas!
“My husband and I recently got married and we had to put off our honeymoon due to the pandemic. But now, we can go on an extravagant honeymoon anywhere we want!
“We were thinking about having our honeymoon in Bali previously, but I think Fiji or Hawaii might be our options now!
“This is amazing.”
Her Keno Mega Millions winning entry was purchased on the Keno – Let’s Play app.
Along with being played in over 3,500 pubs and clubs in Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, Keno can now be played anywhere with the Keno app.
In FY22, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 62.2 million wins collectively worth more than $896.7 million.
During this time, Keno crowned 19 millionaires and multi-millionaires who collectively took home more than $30.7 million. Victoria’s biggest Keno win was by an East Melbourne man who won more than $2 million.
