Every number on this site can be traced to an official source. Here is exactly where our data comes from, how often it updates, how we check it, and what we do when a source fails.
KenoSpots exists on one promise: the numbers are right, and you can see where they came from. This page explains how we keep that promise — the sources, the cadence, the checks, and what happens when something upstream breaks. If you ever find a figure you can't square with an official source, tell us at contact@kenospots.com and we'll fix it.
Every draw result on the site comes straight from the operating lottery's own published results — 26 live feeds across 21 US states, Washington DC, and four Canadian games. We never copy another results site, and we never fill a gap with a guess. Each state and province page names the source it draws from and the date its game rules were last verified.
Paytables and game rules are transcribed from each lottery's official rules, not paraphrased from memory or lifted from another site, and each page tells you when its figures were last confirmed. Legality classifications — which states have lottery keno, which have casino or tribal keno, and which have none — are researched from each state's lottery and gaming authority and reviewed on a schedule.
Live-results feeds are read continuously through the day, so a new draw appears here within about a minute of the lottery publishing it. Daily-batch games (the ones that draw once a day) update once their result posts. Paytables and legality data change rarely; we re-check them on a schedule and stamp each page with the date it was last confirmed rather than leaving you to guess whether it's current.
Two independent pipelines collect the same draws by different routes and on different schedules. Each results page compares them and shows whichever holds the newer draw, so a single failing source can't quietly leave a page frozen on yesterday's numbers. We assert what should be present — the right draw, the right count of balls, an unbroken sequence of draw numbers — rather than merely checking that nothing looks obviously broken, because a check that only watches for a known error passes against an empty page too.
Where a feed publishes no draw time, or only a date, we say so on the page instead of inventing a timestamp. Our archive begins in March 2026 and grows daily; it is not the complete history of any game, and where it starts is stated plainly rather than implied to be exhaustive.
Feeds go down, and lotteries occasionally skip or renumber draws. We treat those as three different things and handle each honestly:
The point of all of it is that a wrong or stale number should be impossible to publish silently. When we can't show a number, we tell you why instead of showing something that looks right.
Past draws do not predict future draws. Keno draws are independent and random. Our hot- and cold-number tracking, frequency charts and historical data describe what has happened; none of it changes the odds of what happens next. A number that hasn't hit in weeks is exactly as likely on the next draw as any other. We publish this data because it's interesting and because players ask for it — not because it offers an edge, because it doesn't.
Our odds calculators use the hypergeometric distribution, the correct model for keno probability, and return exact odds rather than estimates or simulations. Keno carries a large house edge (typically 20–35%); no tool on this site changes that, and none is intended to. See our responsible gambling resources if play stops being fun.
KenoSpots is operated by BoostOps and was built and is maintained by Stephen Sullivan, its founder. We are independent — not a lottery, not a casino, and not an affiliate of either. Nothing here can be bought and we take no wagers. Corrections reach a person: email contact@kenospots.com and we read every one.
