A grandmother from Tweed Heads in New South Wales expressed her disbelief and excitement after winning over $4 million in a Keno game at the Twin Towns Services Club. She claimed the Keno Classic 10 Spot jackpot during draw 795, with her total winnings amounting to $4,141,727.20.
In her own words, she said, “I’m still shaking. I’m so shocked. I couldn’t sleep or think for days.” Despite not being an avid gambler, she places Keno tickets occasionally when out with friends or family. The last time she participated was three months prior, but on the night she won, she felt an instinctive urge to try her luck again.
After scoring small wins in the initial games, she decided to play the same numbers one more time, thinking, “third time’s the charm.” A staff member jokingly questioned her luck with the machine before revealing the staggering amount she had actually won. Initially, he informed her she had won $400,000, but then surprised her with the correct total of $4 million. Overwhelmed, she exclaimed, “Bring me a chair!” as she struggled to grasp the reality of the situation.
Her immediate plans for the winnings involve assisting her daughter with mortgage payments and setting up financial security for her grandchildren.
