One Kingston resident or visitor scored a $50,000 Spot 8 prize in Keno draw 2427819 drawn today 1 November 2018 – they just don’t know it yet!

The winning entry is not registered to an Easiplay Club Card so SA Lotteries officials have no way of contacting the winner to break the exciting news and are eagerly waiting for the ticket holder to make contact to claim their prize.

The winning entry was purchased Kingston Pharmacy, 17 Agnes Street, Kingston.

Kingston Pharmacy manager Annie Barnett said she was excited to hear the outlet had sold it’s biggest Keno prize yet.

“That’s fantastic! How good is that!” she exclaimed.

“It will be awesome for our customer to discover they are now $50,000 richer.

“We hope they come forward soon so we can unite them with their prize!”

SA Lotteries spokesperson, Bronwyn Spencer, said she was eager to confirm the Spot 8 news with the South Australia’s latest winner and urged all Keno players to check their tickets as soon as they can.

“While we don’t know the identity of the latest winner, I am sure they would love to discover they have won $50,000!” she said.

“You may not think it is possible that you could be the winner, but if you purchased a Keno entry in draw 2427819 that you haven’t checked yet, then you’re in with a chance!

“We are urging all players to check their entries as soon as possible and if you discover you are holding the winning ticket to contact SA Lotteries on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”

In the 12 months to 30 June 2018, there were 19 Keno Spot 8, 9 and 10 winners across South Australia who landed more than $4.52 million.  Spot 10 was won twice during this time – a prize of more than $2.017 million in December 2017 and a prize of more than $1.474 million in April 2018.
