As you can see, it is virtually impossible to win a perfect 20-spot ticket. The odds are one in over 3.5 quintillion! However, your odds of guessing 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 out of 20 numbers correctly are pretty good. Therefore, when playing Keno it is important to check the pay table to find out what you can win for guessing between 2 and 8 numbers correctly as these are the payouts that you are most likely to win.
