Coast sparky and nurse claim $1.13 million Keno prize at Nambour RSL Club
Sunshine Coast electrician and his nurse wife were the winners of mystery $1.13 million jackpot that went off on New Year’s Eve at Nambour RSL and Citizens Club. The overwhelmed winners, who have lived on the Sunshine Coast for 17 years and wish to keep their identity private, were alerted to the fact they might be holding the ticket after hearing a local radio station announce that Keno were looking for the winner of a Nambour RSL jackpot.
Keno’s last millionaires for 2017 have been playing the same special hand-picked numbers, which include their birthdays and home street address, for 10 years, but had to wait three days to find out they’d won the massive $1.13 million cash prize.
The wife was listening to Mix FM afternoon at work when she heard them say someone had won $1.1 million at Nambour RSL Club on New Year’s Eve, so he rang my husband at work to tell him to go and check their ticket. If it was not for the announcement the couple would otherwise not have checked their ticket for another fortnight.
The winners just go to the club every couple of weeks and put on 10 numbers for $10 at $1 a game, and four numbers for $1 a game for 10 games. The Sunshine Coast jackpot is the last to be won during Keno’s 20th anniversary in Queensland, which marks two decades since Keno was first offered in the state back in 1997.
The winners plan to use their cash prize to pay off the mortgage on their house, buy a dual cab ute, and give some money away to their nieces and nephews. They say that while they don’t plan to retire straight away, they’ll stop working at 60 to enjoy their Sunshine Coast lifestyle. The winning numbers were 2, 4, 6, 28, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, and 69.
Note that Queenslanders win $26 million on average each month playing the game in pubs and clubs around the state.
