A Woodgate woman and her husband can’t wait to embark on some thrilling adventures with a brand-new motorbike after landing a $75,000 Keno win.

The Bundaberg resident scored the Keno Mega Millions 8 Spot jackpot in draw 569, drawn Sunday 6 August 2023 and took home $75,780.40.

“It’s unbelievable,” she laughed.

“You wouldn’t believe it. We won the 7 Spot about two weeks ago as well.

“We thought this time that we would try eight numbers instead of seven.

“We couldn’t believe it when we saw it come up.

“My husband has been saving up for a brand-new bike for a long time.

“It will be a great feeling when we finally have the bike!

“We celebrated last night with some nice rissoles and mash – it was a memorable dinner!”

Their winning Keno Classic 8 Spot entry was purchased at Woodgate Club, 2 Kangaroo Crt, Woodgate Beach.

The Woodgate Club team were overjoyed to have sold a winning entry to a local patron and wish them all the best with their future plans.

In 2022, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 76.25 million wins collectively worth more than $1 billion.

During this time, Keno crowned 21 millionaires and multi-millionaires who collectively took home more than $51.5 million.  Ten of these major winners were Queenslanders, including a Rockhampton man who walked away with a $6.1 million prize.

Queenslanders enjoyed more than 24.9 million Keno wins totalling more than $350.7 million at pubs and clubs across the state in 2022.
