A NEW house is on the horizon for a Toongabbie man after becoming a newly minted multi-millionaire from a $2.6M Keno win.
The man scored the Keno Classic 10 Spot jackpot in Keno draw 42, drawn in June and took home a total prize of $2,655,277.00.
It wasn’t the first time the player had won big in Keno, revealing he’d also won $10,000 almost twenty years prior.
The man’s winning Keno Classic entry was purchased at Toongabbie Sports Club, 12 Station Road, Toongabbie.
The winning man shared it wasn’t the first time he’d won big in Keno, revealing he’d also won $10,000 almost twenty years prior.
“Thank you!” he laughed when speaking to an official from Keno earlier this morning.
“It’ll be a bit of a change. The first ticket I put on, I won a little bit, so I just decided to play a few more games. It worked out quite well for me," he said.
“Almost 20 years ago, I won $10,000 on Keno which was great at the time, but nothing compares to this.
“It’s funny, my wife is more excited than I am. I think we’ll look to move eventually and buy a nice house.
“I had a couple of celebratory beers last night and now I’ll just wait for the win to sink in.”
The Toongabbie Sports Club team said they were overjoyed to have sold a major Keno prize-winning entry and wished their winner all the best with their prize.
In 2023, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 67.31 million wins collectively worth more than $1B.
