Keno - Play And Check Winning Numbers - Virginia Lottery

Playing Keno is easy.

Here are the four steps:

  1. Pick how many spots you want to play from 1 to 10.
  2. Pick how much you want to wager per draw ($1 to $10).
  3. Pick how many consecutive draws you want to play (1 to 20).
  4. Pick the numbers you want to play from 1 to 80.

If you’d like, you can select Easy Pick at Step 4, and the computer will pick your numbers for you.

Note: If you choose your own numbers, select as many numbers as you did spots in Step 1.

Here’s a look at the Keno playslip.

Every 4 minutes (except during system processing), the Lottery will select 20 winning numbers. The goal is to match your numbers to the ones selected by the Lottery.

To understand 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 x 4 consecutive draws or $20.
