Lismore is on a hot streak for winning money. On December 30, a local man won $1 million in Lotto, while yesterday, another Lismore man won $75,000 on Keno while on holiday.

The man was enjoying time off at North Haven, just south of Port Macquarie, and shared that when he played his special set of numbers, he’d always play Keno Bonus, with the feeling that a big boosted win was just around the corner.

“I’m feeling extra good right now!” he cheered.

“I’m on my annual summer holiday with friends, and we’re having a great time.

“It’s our holiday ritual to come and put on a game of Keno.

“I play from time to time and have had a hunch for the last 12 months that I was going to win something big.

“I have my special set of numbers that when I play, I put the Bonus on.

“I knew it was only a matter of time.

“It’s a great way to wrap up the holiday on a high.

“It’s going to come in handy paying some bills and the mortgage. Next year we might sneak in a quick trip to Europe.”

His winning entry was purchased at Club North Haven, 1 Woodford Road, North Haven.

Club North Haven duty manager Andy Lloyd said he was thrilled to hear his venue had sold a major prize-winning ticket to kick off 2025.

“It’s fantastic! We’re so happy to hear one of our patrons has won a major prize to start the year,” he said.

“We’ve sold quite a few $10,000 winning entries over the years, but I can’t remember any wins this big. It’s awesome to see our customers rewarded.

“Congratulations to the lucky winner, we hope you enjoy your big win!”
