Maryborough Keno players are being urged to check their tickets after $65,000 was won at one of the city’s hotels this week.

The lucky ticket was purchased at the Old Sydney Hotel in Richmond St on Tuesday.

However, the player has yet to check their ticket and discover the windfall.

The Old Sydney Hotel team hopes to soon deliver the exciting news to their elusive winner and was over the moon to have sold a major Keno prize.

Keno spokeswoman Anna Hobdell said she was encouraging all players who purchased a Keno entry at the Old Sydney Hotel to check their tickets as soon as possible.

“Someone out there could be holding a winning ticket worth more than $65,000 and not even realise it,” she said.

A lucky Keno winner doesn’t know they are $65,000 richer.

“We’re urging all Keno players from the region to check their tickets today – you could be holding the winning entry.

“Imagine discovering you’re the winner we’re searching for.

“A major prize would certainly put a spring in your step.

“Past winners have used their prizes to purchase cars, renovate their homes, or go on trips around Australia.

“If you discover you’re holding the winning Keno Classic 8 Spot ticket, hold on to it and head into your closest venue as soon as possible so we can start the prize claim process.”
