A Glenelg shopper picked up more than just a newspaper at Kylie Brown’s Newsagency when they purchased a winning Keno Spot 8 entry into draw 2396207 on Thursday 2 August 2018, taking home a prize of $50,000.
What the winner plans to do with their prize will forever remain a mystery as they have chosen to remain completely anonymous and celebrate in private.
The winning Keno Spot 8 entry was purchased from Kylie Brown’s Newsagency, Shop 17, Bayside Village Shopping Centre, Corner of Jetty and Brighton Roads, Glenelg.
Kirsty Packer, team member at Kylie Brown’s Newsagency, said she was thrilled the outlet had sold another major prize.
“It’s very exciting that we’ve sold another big prize!” she exclaimed.
“We have sold a few division one prizes in the past but we are so pleased another one of our customers has won such a great amount.
“It was such an emotional time in store when the customer discovered they had won. Everyone who was in store at the time cried with happiness for them.
“It was such a sweet moment!”
Last financial year, 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.
Keno is a game whereby 20 numbers are randomly generated from a possible 80. To win a Keno Spot 8 prize, a player must match all eight of the numbers selected on their ticket against the 20 numbers drawn.
