Tuncurry woman faces a bundle of emotions with terrific $247,000 Keno win

When a Tuncurry woman initially scored her Keno 9 Spot win this morning, she initially thought she’d won $1,200, but was thrilled to discover it was in fact a life-enhancing $247,000 win.

The Mid North Coast resident scored the Keno Classic 9 Spot winning entry in draw 649, drawn Thursday 2 March 2023. Her total prize was $247,225.40.

Straight after the draw, an official from Keno spoke to the New South Wales woman, who was still reeling from the excitement.

“I’m still in shock!” she cheered.

“Gosh, I don’t know where to begin!

“It’s so exciting. I thought I’d only won $1,200 and I was getting pumped for that!

“But then, number 12 came up, and it was my last number. I couldn’t believe it!

“That’s when I discovered I’d won $247,000!

“I’ve always played the same Keno numbers for years.

“It’s really special to have won with these numbers for sentimental reasons.”

When asked how she planned to enjoy her fun money, the cheerful woman shared it would go towards paying off her mortgage for good.

“We can completely pay off our house loan which is so exciting,” she said.

“We’ll celebrate the win in private.”

Her winning 9 Spot winning entry was purchased at Sporties Tuncurry, 65 Beach Street, Tuncurry.
