If you select the Keno Spin box on your slip, it gives you the chance to win even bigger prizes. A multiplier is randomly selected alongside each draw, and this is applied to all payouts if you have played Keno Spin.
There is a 40% chance that no multiplier (1x) will be applied, but there is a 60% chance that your prize will be boosted. It could even be the 10x multiplier, making it possible to win up to $1 million.
The table below shows the odds of each Keno Spin multiplier being selected in each draw. Remember, the maximum payout with Keno Spin is $1 million, regardless of your wager amount.
In Keno, you have more control over exactly how you play than in most other lotteries. For starters, you can choose how many numbers you want to pick, from a minimum of one to a maximum of 10. These are known as spots, so you would play either the 10 Spot version of Keno, the 9 Spot game, and so on.
Select your numbers from a range of 1 to 80. You can play a Quick Pick if you would rather use a random set than choose your own.
Specify how many consecutive draws you want to play, up to a maximum of 20.
You can also decide how much you want to wager per game. This can be $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, or $10.
Add Keno Spin for the chance to increase your payouts, but doubling the cost of your wager. The total cost of your ticket is the dollar amount multiplied by the number of consecutive draws (and doubled if you add Keno Spin). The maximum wager is $100 per bet slip.
With draws every three and a half minutes, you don’t have to wait long! In every draw, 20 winning numbers are selected at random from 1 to 80.
