With $50,000 about to land in her bank account, A Port Adelaide woman has revealed the first thing she’s planning to do with her Keno prize is upgrade her smile. 

The winner scored the $50,000 Keno Spot 8 prize in draw 314, drawn 18 September 2021. 

Speaking with us this morning, the South Australian relayed how the excitement unfolded. 

“Every Saturday, I have a tradition of picking up a Keno ticket on my way to work,” she shared. 

“I play the same numbers each time, which I have been playing for more than five years now. 

“I’ve had a few decent wins in the past, but never anything like this. 

“When I was at work, I checked the numbers online and that’s when I saw I’d won $50,000. 

“I was blown away! I just kept saying, ‘Oh my god! Oh my god! Finally!’. 

“I went numb after that! I could barely speak, but eventually, I managed to call my mum and share the news with her. 

“It’s just fantastic. I am really so happy. I love Keno!

“It’s the only thing that was running through my head! I just kept thinking, ‘$50,000! You beauty’.” 

When asked how she intended to enjoy her windfall, the Adelaide woman said she’d already been busy making plans. 

“I would love to get a new car, and there’s a few small things around the house that need doing,” she explained. 

“I also want to get my teeth done, and then I will invest whatever is left.”
