To calculate how much your Keno ticket will cost, multiply the amount wagered per draw by the number of consecutive draws played. Here’s an example: You wagered $5 on 4 consecutive draws. Your Keno ticket costs $5 (your wager) x 4 (the number of consecutive draws you selected) = $20. Where can you check to see if your ticket is a winner? If you are curious to learn how to play Keno then playing a free Flash Keno game is a great way to get started. When you play Keno online, rather than in a live casino, you simply mark off the numbers you wish to bet on and click 'Play' when you are ready to join the game.

Today is a great day for the Lottery – Keno launches in Virginia today! This fast, fun draw game features drawings every 4 minutes* and the chance to win up to $1 million**.

If you’ve never heard of Keno, you’re in the right place to learn.

There are four steps to playing Keno.

How To Play Keno Lottery Canada

1. Select how many spots you’d like to play from 1 to 10.
2. Select how much you want to wager per draw ($1 to $10).
3. Select how many consecutive draws you want to play (1 to 20).
4. Pick your numbers from 1 to 80, or select Easy Pick to have the computer choose your numbers for you.

One thing that’s important to understand when playing Keno is that you must pick the same quantity of numbers in Step 4 as the quantity of spots you chose in Step 1. In other words, if you selected four spots in Step 1, you would need to pick four numbers from 1 to 80 in Step 4.

The amount you can win playing Keno varies based upon the number of spots you select and your wager. If you play a 10-Spot game and wager $10, you could win $1 million if you match all 10 numbers. The overall odds to win a prize vary based upon the number of spots you select and range from 1 in 2.8 to 1 in 16.6. You can view the full Prizes & Odds table on the Keno game page.

The Lottery offers several ways for players to see if their Keno tickets are winners.
