The Cassowary Coast player held a Keno Classic 10 Spot winning entry in draw 979, drawn on Sunday (March 19) and took home a total prize of $1,913,936.00.
However, the player has yet to check their winning ticket and start the prize claim process.
The winning Keno Classic 10 Spot entry was bought at the Mourilyan Hotel, Mourilyan Harbour Road, Mourilyan.
The hotel team is over the moon to have sold a million-dollar winning entry and hopes the winner comes forward soon to claim their prize.
Keno spokesperson Anna Hobdell said she encouraged all players who bought a Keno entry at the hotel to check their tickets as soon as possible.
“Someone could be walking around with a winning ticket worth more than $1.9 million in their back pocket or handbag without even knowing they’ve won,” she said.
“We’re urging all players who purchased a Keno entry at The Mourilyan Hotel to check their tickets today – you could be holding a major Keno winning entry.
“Imagine discovering you’re the owner we’re searching for. Think of all the exciting things you could do with an extra $1.9m in the bank account.
“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 10 Spot ticket, hold on tight to it and head into your closest venue as soon as possible so that we can start the prize claim process.”
In 2022, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 76.25 million wins collectively worth more than $1 billion.
During this time, Keno crowned 21 millionaires and multi-millionaires who collectively took home more than $51.5m. Ten of these major winners were Queenslanders, including a Rockhampton man who walked away with a $6.1m prize.
