Keno is a fairly popular lottery game, available only to Michigan Lottery players. The bingo-like lottery game draws in a variety of lottery players. 

Just recently, one player from East Lansing and one from Warren won the jackpot of $250,000 each. Below you can check out how to play and what prizes you can win.

How to Play

As mentioned above, Keno is similar to bingo but with a twist. In addition, this game is only available in stores for Michigan Lottery players, so be sure to check with your local lottery retailer. 

First, you will need to select ten numbers from one to 80. If you have difficulty choosing, you can always choose “Easy Pick” to allow the machine to select those numbers for you. 

If you feel up to it, you can also extend the number of plays you have for your favorite numbers. For example, you can choose to play up to 60 consecutive drawings by marking in the multiple draw area on your play slip. 

Once you have filled out your ticket and finalized your purchase, you can check the results on TV, the Michigan Lottery website, or mobile app. 

Before cashing in any tickets, make sure you check again before taking them to a retailer. 

Odds, Price, and Prizes

The overall odds of winning a single prize in Keno are 1 in 19. These odds are a bit high, but you can change this slightly if you have the right plan. 

If you purchase an additional ticket with new numbers, you can have another shot at prizes. However, this must be used with caution if you plan on purchasing a lot of tickets. 

Each ticket will cost one dollar. Even with a low entry to this game, setting up a budget before purchasing multiple tickets would still be wise. 

Below you can see how purchasing another ticket could help. This is especially handy for prizes like the jackpot.
