Keno

Keno is a fast-moving Kentucky Lottery game with draws held every four minutes, seven days a week, delivering lots of ways to play and win. There's a top prize of $100,000, which can be increased up to 10 times with the Multiplier add-on, or add the Bulls-Eye option for the chance to win an extra prize.

How to Play

The amount of numbers you choose to play in a draw is called a Spot. You may play from one Spot (one number), up to ten Spots (10 numbers). The odds and prizes vary depending on the number of Spots you play.

Next, choose your wager per draw (base wager): $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, $10.00, or $20.00. This wager is the same for all Spots you play.

You can choose to play your numbers for more than one draw - select 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 or 20 consecutive draws to take part in.

Before picking your numbers, decide if you want to add Multiplier, Bulls-Eye, or both.

To increase the value of your prize, add Multiplier to your play. In each drawing, a Multiplier number is randomly chosen. Prizes are multiplied by the number selected - a prize can grow by 2, 3, 4, 5 or even 10 times its original value. Multiplier costs the same as your base wager amount - that is, for each $1.00 you play on Keno, you may add Multiplier for an extra $1.00.

The Bulls-Eye option offers the chance to win an extra prize. In every draw, a Bulls-Eye number is randomly selected from one of the 20 winning numbers. If one of your numbers matches the Bulls-Eye, you'll win an extra Bulls-Eye prize in addition to any regular Keno prizes you've won. The cost of Bulls-Eye is the same as your base play. Bulls-Eye prizes are excluded from Multiplier.

Now, pick your numbers. The number of Spots you chose (from 1-10) equals the amount of numbers you can play - so if you chose 10 Spots, you can pick 10 numbers. Select numbers between 1 and 80, or check "QP" to have the lottery computer Quick Pick the numbers at random.

The total cost of your ticket will be your base wager plus Multiplier (if added), plus Bulls-Eye (if added), times the number of draws you're playing.

You won't have long to wait for the next draw - one is held every four minutes. 20 numbers are randomly selected by the lottery computer from a pool of 80.
