A Penrith woman admitted she let her meal go cold over dinner after her Keno entry won $150,000 in its first game and turned her life upside down.
The Sydney resident held a Keno Classic winning entry in draw 110, drawn Saturday 8 July 2023. Her total prize was $150,000.00.
“This is unbelievable, isn’t it? I feel like I haven’t slept in a couple of days,” the winning woman laughed when an official from Keno called to confirm the win.
“We were just heading to the pub for dinner, and I put my Keno entry in just prior to sitting down.
“Well, next thing I knew I looked up and saw my numbers popping up on the screen one by one and my jaw hit the floor.
“Dinner was served but I couldn’t take a bite. I had butterflies going round in circles in my stomach!
“All I could do was sit and wait for all the games to finish. But when I went up and was told I’d won, I was completely blown away.
“It really is fantastic timing as we’ve just started renovations around our home and were planning on buying a campervan soon.
“Who knows, we might take a few months off and just travel around Australia.
“It’s a wonderful feeling and I’m still struggling to process it.”
The elated woman’s winning entry was purchased at Panthers Penrith Rugby Leagues Club, 123 Mulgoa Road, Penrith.
Panthers Penrith Rugby Leagues Club Gaming Supervisor Shaun Meadows said the whole team was over the moon for their winning customer.
“It’s fantastic! A number of staff and patrons noticed a big prize had been won and the search was on,” he said.
“We always love it when customers win and celebrate with them, so we hope this goes a long way for the winner.
“Everyone is still amazed!
“Congratulations to our winner and all the best for the future.”
