A South Rockhampton man has confessed he could barely believe what he was seeing he bagged more than $77,000 in a Keno Mega Millions draw yesterday.

The Central Queensland resident held a Keno Mega Millions 8 Spot winning entry in draw 515, drawn Tuesday 21 February 2023. His total prize was $77,777.00.

“It’s a good day, mate, that’s for sure!” the winning man exclaimed when an official from Keno called to confirm his win.

“I don’t play Keno all that often but this time my partner and I chose four numbers each and lo and behold, we won!

“A normal morning for us became incredible when I checked the results this morning. I just started yelling. I was in such shock.

“We’re in the process of buying a new home and I’d love to do some renovations, so it’s come at the best possible time.

“I’ve never had a win like this.

“Thank you so much. It really will change our lives.”

His winning entry was purchased at Rockhampton Leagues Club, Cambridge Street, Rockhampton.

The Rockhampton Leagues Club team said they were over the moon to see another Keno player have their lives changed in an instant and wished them all the best.
