After you have submitted your selection, twenty numbered balls will "enter" into a capsule from a tube. If enough of your numbers are picked, you win. That’s all there is. You will obviously win more, if more of your numbers surface, like with lottos.
Most keno online games allow you to buy cards between 5c and $5, and pay out in multiples of your ticket value. Jackpot winnings of up to $50 000 are not uncommon.
