Dingo Beach Couple Win Big On Keno

A local couple are celebrating the life-changing moment that their lucky Keno ticket saw them win a whopping $150,000 cash prize last week.

The Whitsundays duo held a Keno Classic 8 Spot winning entry in draw 533 which they purchased from the Dingo Beach Hotel on Sunday, October 9.

Their total prize was $150,774.50.

With the prize money set to land in their bank account within the coming days, the pair say they have a few items to tick off their dream list.

“The first thing on the list is to purchase a new tractor – it’s something we’ve wanted to do for a while,” they said.

“We’d love to arrange some maintenance around the house and we can look forward to paying off the house mortgage as well!”

The winning couple have chosen to remain anonymous so far but decided to share an account of how their win unfolded.

The husband was at Dingo Beach Hotel when they realised he was holding the winning ticket and he immediately called his wife to tell her the news and asked her to come down to the hotel to celebrate.

“It’s come at the most perfect time!” she laughed.

“I was sitting at home and my husband rung to tell me that we’d won - all I could hear was his friends cheering in the venue on the phone call. My knees, hands and legs were shaking!

“This is the most we’ve ever won in our entire life, so it’s hard to process.”

Since its inception, Keno has crowned 19 millionaires and multi-millionaires who collectively took home more than $30.7 million.  Eleven of these major winners were Queenslanders.
