Confirming the win with an official from Keno today, the elated winner shared he was too overwhelmed to sleep last night, fearing he'd wake up and find the win was just a dream.
"I tell you what, even with only a few hours of sleep under my belt, I'm feeling pretty amazing today," he said.
"It was just an entry of completely random numbers that I thought I'd have a play with during a break from work.
"I never expected to win anything. I'm still struggling to believe I did."
The man called his partner immediately and said she was shaking while he told her.
"It's such an incredible feeling and it means so much for us," he said.
"We'll be able to pay off the mortgage and put some of the winnings away for renovations in the future.
"I'll be able to spend more time with my family, which is the greatest gift.
"This really is incredible - it's going to change our lives!"
In 2021, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 36.2 million wins collectively worth more than $590.3 million.
