A Moruya grandma was left shaking like a leaf and in dire need of a glass of water after she discovered her life-enhancing  $306,000 Keno win. 

The New South Wales resident scored the Keno Classic 9 Spot jackpot in Keno draw 531, drawn Sunday 8 November 2026. She pocketed a total prize of $306,284.50.

When an official from Keno spoke with the winning woman, the reality of her windfall was still sinking in.

“I still can’t believe it!” she laughed.

“I was at the Bowls Club when one of the workers came over and told me that I’d won $306,000. I thought he was joking!

“When I realised he was being serious, I had to grab a glass of water to drink. I couldn’t stop shaking.

“I’m just so happy. The staff there are fantastic and it was just a great time.”

With more than $300,000 coming her way, the delighted grandma already had a few ideas for enjoying her prize.

“I’ve already thought about planning a trip to Vietnam next year,” she said.

“I’ll also help the kids out and do some things around the house.”

Her winning Keno Classic entry was purchased from Moruya Bowling Club.
