A Parkes woman was flabbergasted when she won thousands at the Parkes Services Club recently.
Her favourite numbers scored her a $73,317.10 spot prize, the first major Keno win ever at the club.
“I was stunned – flabbergasted even!” she told a Keno official. “It’s the most I’ve ever won in my entire life.
“We go to Parkes Services Club every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. It’s a great place to hang out. We watch the Keno draws when we’re at the club, but we don’t always play!
“Once in a blue moon, we’ll put an entry on Keno using our special and favourite numbers – birthdays, ages, and so on.”
She said she had a few plans for her prize. “We’d love to do some repairs around the house, pay off some bills, and buy a brand-new car!” she said. “It will go a long way!”
Parkes Services Club duty manager Greg Phillips said the major Keno win was amazing news for the local community. “I was working when the winner won the major Keno prize, and she was over the moon!
“We’re so very excited for the winner, and our local community!”
