The thrilled winner is now $150,000 richer from winning Keno Spot 9 in draw 2430924 drawn Saturday 10 November 2018.
Speaking to an SA Lotteries official this afternoon to claim his prize, the happy man explained how he came to hold his winning Keno Spot 9 entry.
“Every Saturday I head out to do some errands and grab a coffee. I always chuck on a couple of Keno games on while I drink it,” he explained.
“I used my family birthdates and ages to pick my numbers on this one.
“I checked my ticket and it said I had won. I thought it was only a few hundred until the girl behind the counter printed out the numbers and we checked them.
“I think I’ll have a beer this afternoon to celebrate.”
When asked how he planned to spend his Keno windfall, the stoked bloke revealed it would come in handy for his future retirement plans.
“I’ll pay off the house, throw some in the investments and the rest will go into my super fund,” he declared.
