Penrith woman’s $150,000 Keno windfall at Panthers

A PENRITH woman admitted she let her meal go cold over dinner after her Keno entry won $150,000 in its first game and turned her life upside down.

The Sydney resident held a Keno Classic winning entry in draw 110, drawn Saturday 8 July 2023. Her total prize was $150,000.00.

The winner said the prize had come at the perfect time with a trip around Australia on the horizon and renovations to their home commencing.

The elated woman’s winning entry was purchased at Panthers Penrith Rugby Leagues Club, 123 Mulgoa Road, Penrith.

“This is unbelievable, isn’t it? I feel like I haven’t slept in a couple of days,” the winning woman laughed when an official from Keno called to confirm the win.

“We were just heading for dinner, and I put my Keno entry in just prior to sitting down.

“Well, next thing I knew I looked up and saw my numbers popping up on the screen one by one and my jaw hit the floor.

“Dinner was served but I couldn’t take a bite. I had butterflies going round in circles in my stomach!

“All I could do was sit and wait for all the games to finish. But when I went up and was told I’d won, I was completely blown away.

“It really is fantastic timing as we’ve just started renovations around our home and were planning on buying a campervan soon.

“Who knows, we might take a few months off and just travel around Australia.

“It’s a wonderful feeling and I’m still struggling to process it.”

Panthers Penrith Rugby Leagues Club Gaming Supervisor Shaun Meadows said the whole team was over the moon for their winning customer.

“It’s fantastic! A number of staff and patrons noticed a big prize had been won and the search was on,” he said.

“We always love it when customers win and celebrate with them, so we hope this goes a long way for the winner.

“Everyone is still amazed!

“Congratulations to our winner and all the best for the future.”

In 2022, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 76.25 million wins collectively worth more than $1 billion.

During this time, Keno crowned 21 millionaires and multi-millionaires who collectively took home more than $51.5 million. Ten of these major winners were from New South Wales and the ACT, including a Sydneysider who picked up a $10.3 million windfall.
