Georgia Keno

GA Keno is a quick game with over 300 draws every day - one every three and a half minutes - for the chance to win prizes of up to $100,000. The more of your numbers that match the winning numbers, the bigger the payout you could take home.

How to Play

Playing Georgia Keno is simple. Follow these steps to get started:

  • Choose Numbers/Fill Spots: Select up to 10 spots (numbers) to play, from 1 through 80. To play even faster, use Quik Pik and the lottery terminal will randomly generate your numbers..
  • Select Wager: You can play at dollar increments between $1 and $10. The more you play, the more you can win - wager $2 to multiply the prize by 2x, $3 to multiply the prize by 3x, and so on.
  • Decide How Many Games: Choose how many draws to enter - play the same numbers for up to 20 drawings.
  • Wait for the draw: 20 numbers will be randomly selected and compared with your numbers.
  • Extra Options: You have the option to add Multiplier and/or Bulls-Eye to increase the value of the prizes you could win - see below for more information. Either Multiplier or Bulls-Eye doubles your base play cost.

The more numbers you match, the bigger your prize will be.

Multiplier

The Multiplier add-on boosts a prize by up to 10 times. A Multiplier number is drawn before each Keno drawing. If your Keno play with Multiplier is a winner, your base prize will be increased by the chosen Multiplier for that draw. Only base Keno prizes are eligible to be multiplied. Multiplier doubles the cost of your Keno base ticket.

For example, a $1 wager on a 4-spot play can win you a based Keno prize of $70 and a prize of $350 with the 5x Multiplier.

Bulls-Eye

The Bulls-Eye add-on feature can deliver larger prizes - up to $300,000 - and extra chances to win. After each Keno draw, one of the 20 winning numbers is randomly chosen as the Bulls-Eye number. Bulls-Eye doubles your base Keno ticket cost. For example, if you play $1 on Keno then you can add Bulls-Eye for an extra $1, for a total cost of $2.

Here are the three ways you can win with Bulls-Eye:

  1. Match just the Bulls-Eye number, without matching any Keno numbers.
  2. Match the Bulls-Eye number and Keno numbers.
  3. Match just the Keno numbers, without matching the Bulls-Eye number.

For example, a $1 4-spot game can win you a base Keno prize of $70, and a Bulls-Eye prize of $280.
