Tocumwal Golf Club Member Scores Big Keno Win

The southern Riverina resident scored the Keno Classic 8 Spot jackpot in draw 536, drawn on 28 May 2025. He looks forward to a total prize of $70,590.40.

So far in 2025, two major Keno wins have landed in the Riverina region, collectively taking home $124,456.90 in prize money.

The man’s winning Keno Classic entry was purchased at Tocumwal Golf Club, and the Club’s operations manager Kathy Giddens said the atmosphere in the Club had lit up when the jackpot winner was announced.

“We were so excited for the winner! The Club was buzzing!” she says.

“This is the first time we’ve seen a Keno win of this magnitude. We’ve sold a couple of 7 Spot jackpot wins in the last few months, but nothing as big as this!

“We’ve started to promote the win in the club and letting all of our customers know about the milestone.

“Congratulations to our Keno winner who is a loyal member to our club. You’re very deserving of this win!”

Meanwhile the winner himself, was naturally elated to confirm his winnings.

“I feel really good! It’s terrific news,” he laughed when an official from Keno relayed the winning news.

“I’ve been playing the same numbers for two decades; they’re 20 years old!

“Funnily enough, I asked my six-year-old grandson his favourite numbers, at Christmas. Later on, I went home and decided to use them for my Keno ticket.

“That ticket has already won multiple times! It pays to play your own numbers that you chose because when you win, it’s extra special.

“I enjoy visiting the Tocumwal Golf Club on a regular basis. It’s a great club, and the staff are lovely.”

With a life-enhancing $70,000 win on the way, the NSW man said his first thought was of his family and how he could support them.

“I’ll be helping out my kids. They will receive some of the prize, but not all of it!” he laughs.

“I’ll save some for myself too.”

In 2024, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 76 million wins collectively worth more than $1 billion. 

During this time, Keno crowned 23 millionaires and multi-millionaires who collectively took home more than $54.9 million.
