The two men, who bought their winning entry at The George Tavern, take home $88,406.
Confirming their win with an official from Keno today, one half of the winning duo explained they'd had a weekend to remember.
"Me and my mate like to play a game of Keno together every now and again," he explained. "We played eight numbers on Saturday and they came up.
"We weren't watching the draw unfold, but we saw a little later that someone in the tavern had won the 8 Spot prize. Of course we were hopeful it was us and then we checked the ticket and there it was.
We were very excited."
When asked how they thought they might enjoy their Keno fun money, one of the mates explained they both had some good ideas.
"I'm going to get a couple of little renos done around the house," he said. "And my mate is planning a big holiday. It will be great."
The duo wished to remain anonymous.
