“I was at home watching the draw unfold on my computer and, geez, I just couldn’t believe it because not only did I get the eight numbers but I got six numbers as well,” he said.
“I was so amazed when I realised I really did have all those eight numbers.
“It was just so nice to win.”
Confirming his win with a Keno official, the man said he was feeling generous so close to Christmas.
“I can’t wait to share the prize with my family and really spoil my kids,” he said.
“I also love donating to charities, so I will be doing that as well.”
Bathurst RSL Club team member Leeanne Goodsell said staff were celebrating the exciting win.
“It’s so great to let people know that these big wins do happen in smaller clubs throughout the country,” she said.
“And we had a big win only a few days before, so I feel like we’re on a bit of a winning streak.”
