Three Adelaide residents are spending this week making plans for the $50,000 Keno Spot 8 prize they each scored during a winning deluge that enveloped the city over the weekend.

Largs Bay nomads set to travel around Australia thanks to $50,000 Keno win

A Largs Bay couple have spent the day shopping for caravans and planning an extended trip around Australia after discovering they won $50,000 in a recent Keno draw.

The South Australia players held a Keno Spot 8 winning entry in draw 2671762 on Friday 2 October 2020 and take home $50,000.

This afternoon, an official from The Lott contacted the winning man, who admitted he was still in a state of shock.

“I couldn’t believe it when I checked my numbers,” he explained.

“I was just completely overwhelmed.

“I was gobsmacked!

“I thought ‘Woo-hoo! Finally, some good luck!’.

“It’s just such an incredible win.

“When the money is in my account, I am going to go out for a few drinks with my wife to celebrate.”

When asked how he planned to enjoy his prize, the stoked bloke admitted there was one particular thing on his mind.

“We’ve already been shopping today for a caravan,” he laughed.

“We’re going to get a nice one and just travel around Australia, who knows when we’ll come back!

“We can’t wait!”

The winning entry was purchased at Alpine Deli, 392 Military Road, Largs Bay.

Winning weekend for Clearview Keno player

A Clearview Keno player had an especially exciting weekend, scoring a Spot 8 entry worth $50,000.

The Adelaide resident held a Keno Spot 8 winning entry in draw 2671845 on Friday 2 October 2020 and takes home $50,000.

However, how the winner plans to enjoy their windfall will forever remain a mystery as they have chosen to stay completely anonymous and celebrate in private.

The winning entry was purchased at Hotel Enfield, 184 Hampstead Road,  Clearview.

Hotel Enfield venue manager Ross Blair-Holt said they were celebrating having one of their patrons score a major Keno prize.

“We’ve been celebrating at the venue and telling everyone we’ve sold a major Keno prize,” he said.

“Lots of people have been so excited to hear that one of our patrons has won. Everyone’s hoping it is them next time!

“Congratulations to our winner! We wish them all the very best with their prize.”

Check your tickets Plympton – did you win $50,000?

A Plympton resident or visitor scored a $50,000 Spot 8 prize in Keno draw 2672191, drawn Saturday 3 October 2020 — they just don’t know it!

The winning entry is not registered to an Easiplay Club Card, so officials from The Lott 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 at Plympton Newsagency & LPO, 392A Marion Road, Plympton.

The Lott spokesperson Ally Ramsamy said she urged all Keno players to check their tickets today.

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

“If you had an entry in Keno draw 2672191, we promise it could be absolutely worthwhile to check your ticket now!

“You could be our mystery Keno winner! Just imagine what you could do with an extra $50,000!

“If you discover you are holding the winning ticket contact SA Lotteries on 131 868 to begin the process of claiming your prize.”
