A Mackay man’s after-work visit to the local bowls club has become an unforgettable moment after picking up a $54,000 win in a recent Keno draw.
The Queensland resident held a Keno Classic 6 Spot winning entry in draw 659, drawn Saturday 30 September 2023, and took home $54,000.
“I feel great!” he exclaimed when an official from Keno called to confirm the life-enhancing win.
“What an amazing way to finish off a long workday.
“I just knocked off, went to the bowls club for a feed, and then suddenly, I’m $54,000 richer!
“I play regularly but I’ve never won something like this!
“When I saw all my numbers on the screen, I couldn’t believe it.
“It’s unreal.”
While the winning man had no immediate plans for his prize, he said he would be sharing it with his family.
His winning Keno Classic 6 Spot entry was purchased at Mackay Northern Beaches Bowls Club.
The Mackay Northern Beaches Bowls Club said they were ecstatic to have sold a winning entry to a regular visitor and wished him all the best with his future plans.
