The probability of matching k of your m spots, when 20 numbers are drawn from 80, comes straight from the hypergeometric distribution. It is the exact same formula our calculators run, open and checkable.
The more numbers you pick, the harder it is to hit them all, but the bigger the payout. Here is how it stacks up.
Payouts shown are typical top prizes on a $1 wager. Exact amounts are set by each lottery’s paytable and vary by state, so check your state’s chart for the real numbers.

The best keno odds come from picking fewer spots. A 4-spot game has odds of 1 in 326 to hit all 4, far better than a 10-spot game at 1 in 8.9 million. If you want better hit frequency, stick to 3–5 spots.
Most experienced players pick 4–8 spots. Four-spot keno offers the most frequent wins; 6-spot is the most popular balance of payout and hit rate; 8–10 spots are for jackpot-style play.
Keno has one of the highest house edges in gambling, typically 20–35% depending on the game and spot count. Lottery keno often runs 35%+ house edge, while some video keno machines can be as low as 5–10%.
Neither is a good bet, but the math is different. Slots typically run a 2–15% house edge (85–98% RTP), while keno usually runs higher, often 20–35% on lottery keno. Keno is slower-paced, and its key advantage is transparency: you can see the exact odds with a calculator, unlike slots where the math is hidden.
No gambling game offers consistent wins, keno included. That said, you can make smarter choices: picking fewer spots increases your hit frequency, and understanding the paytable helps you find games with better returns.
