On the afternoon of Friday 22 April, an official from Keno reached out to the winner to break the exciting news.
“What a nice surprise for a Friday.

“I’m stunned, this is awesome,” the player said.

The winner told Keno officials that he loves playing the game and always has his fingers crossed for a big win.

“This win comes at an excellent time for me.

“It’s been a couple of trying years- being diagnosed with cancer and losing my mum shortly after.

“So, this win is great news and has left me feeling fantastic,” he said.

The team at Soldiers Point Bowling Club said they are thrilled for their winner and wish him all the best with his prize.

The winning ticket was part of a promotion which ran from Sunday 13 March to Saturday 16 April 2022, with winners notified by Keno officials.

“This is going to be an enormous help as I’ll put it towards my business,” the winner said.

“Earlier this week, I bought a few hundred dollars’ worth of chocolates and delivered them to our local nursing homes and community hospital, so this feels like good karma.

“It’s just awesome and I could cry right now – this means so much,” he said.
