The Murray resident scored the Keno Classic 8 Spot jackpot in draw 344, drawn Saturday and looks forward to a total prize of $51,775.90.
The New South Welshman admitted he doesn’t play Keno regularly but enjoys the occasional game over lunch to pass the time.
“I can’t believe it!” he exclaimed.
“I can’t wait to cash the cheque in – I’m very excited.
“I’m not a massive Keno player. I was waiting for lunch surrounded by my family, and I decided to put a game of Keno on while I waited for the food to arrive.
“I asked everyone at the table to pick out two numbers. Funnily enough, one of them went and played golf that morning and chose the number on his golf cart.
“We were so shocked when I won! It made the day super memorable.
“We one hundred per cent celebrated that day. Being with family made the win extra special.”
With over $51,000 about to boost his plans, the thrilled winner said he’s eager to put the prize towards a new car and share the rest with his nearest and dearest.
“My car is ready to blow up, so that’s the first thing I’ll be doing – replacing the car,” he said.
“Then I’ll give some to my family. I’m going to be wise with it.”
The winning entry was purchased at Sporties Barooga.
