A Vineyard man is re-living the winning feeling all over again after scoring a Keno Classic 8 Spot prize for the second time in a matter of months.
The western Sydney player held a Keno Classic 8 Spot winning entry in draw 363, drawn Sunday 28 February 2021 and takes home a prize worth $73,341.50.
Confirming his win with an official from Keno this morning, the regular player said it was a moment of déjà vu.
“What a great way to finish the week!” he exclaimed.
“I had an old Keno 8 Spot ticket in my wallet, which I decided to play again.
“I was just sitting in the pub with my mate when we heard someone in the venue had won the 8 Spot prize.
“I knew straight away it would be me!
“I won a very similar Keno prize only a few months ago, so to do it again is very exciting!”
When asked how he planned to enjoy his second Keno windfall, the happy man explained it would be going straight into his retirement fund.
“I’m going to invest it, just like I did with the last prize,” he said.
“Then, I will be able to retire a little earlier!”
The winning entry was purchased at Vineyard Hotel, Windsor & Boundary Roads, Vineyard.
Vineyard Hotel manager Kareena Glover said she couldn’t believe her patron had won big for the second time.
“It’s incredible! We are very excited for him,” she laughed.
“It’s great to see another huge prize won by a local and regular patron.
“Congratulations to him!”
In 2020, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 59.9 million wins collectively worth more than $840.6 million.
