Keno - Rhode Island Lottery

Rhode Island Keno


Another chance to win with bigger prizes up for grabs.	Multiply prizes by the Plus number drawn for higher prize amounts.	Play at home. Watch Keno drawings on your computer.

Did You Know?

Keno is believed to date back to China in the 1st century AD when characters from one of Confucius` poems were used, rather than numbers, in the matrix.

Keeping the same flexibility of playing methods, the version offered through the Rhode Island Lottery since September 1992 bears a resemblance to the original game. Using a matrix of 10 of 20 of 80 numbers, players can win up to $100,000 on regular Keno, up to $500,000 on Keno Overtime, or up to $1,000,000 with the Keno Plus option.

New games are drawn every 4 minutes.

Object of Game

Players may choose from 1 to 10 numbers between 1 and 80, in hopes that some or all will be randomly selected by the centralized computer.

Keno is available at all Lottery Retailers, with most Keno Retailers equipped with a monitor that displays a new drawing every four minutes. Players can also watch drawings from their computer or check tickets using the Lottery mobile app.

A win occurs when some or all of the numbers (spots) selected by the player are matched by the computer. The more numbers that are matched, the higher the payout. It is even possible to win a cash prize when none of the wagered on numbers in a 10 Spot Game are drawn.

How to fill out your play slip

	KENO OVERTIME: Check "YES" if you want to play Keno Overtime and have another chance to win with your numbers. The Overtime drawing happens immediately after the main Keno draw. Keno Overtime doubles your base wager per game.
	KENO PLUS: Check "YES" if you want to play Keno Plus for a chance to multiply prizes by up to 10X. Keno Plus is double your base wager per game.
	On your play slip choose how many numbers (spots) you want to play, from 1 - 10.
	Decide how much you want to wager per game $1, $2, $5, or $10. Your prize will be multiplied by wager amount.
	Select the number of consecutive games you wish to play: 1, 2, 5, 10 or 15. Remember, the total ticket cost is equal to the amount wagered (including Keno Plus and Keno Overtime if selected) times the number of consecutive games. (For example: If a Keno game is played on a $2 wager for 5 consecutive games, the ticket would cost $10.)
	Either select your own numbers or mark "Quick Pick" and let the computer choose them for you. Remember, if you choose your own numbers, the amount of numbers must equal the number of "spots" you have selected to play.
The maximum wager on Keno is $150 per ticket. The maximum wager on Keno Plus or Keno Overtime is $300 per ticket. If both Keno Plus and Keno Overtime are played, the maximum wager is $450.
