No multiplier built into these prizes
Every amount on this page is what WCLC Keno pays on a straight $1 play, with nothing added on. WCLC Keno has no multiplier add-on, and $100,000 is the most any one ticket can win in a single draw no matter how much you wager.
Wager Amounts and How Prizes Scale
Every prize on this page is quoted per $1 played. WCLC Keno accepts wagers of $1, $2, $5 or $10 per draw, and prizes scale straight up with the amount you bet: a $2 play pays double the amounts shown, a $5 play pays five times, and so on.

How WCLC Keno Compares to the Average Paytable
Keno prizes are not the same everywhere. This table puts the WCLC Keno top prize for each spot count next to the typical prize across the 22 other lottery keno paytables we track. The comparison figure is the median rather than the mean, so one unusually rich schedule cannot drag it out of shape.
| Spots | WCLC Keno | Typical Game | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 spot | $2 | $2 | In line with the rest |
| 2 spots | $10 | $10 | In line with the rest |
| 3 spots | $20 | $25 | 20% below typical |
| 4 spots | $50 | $72 | 31% below typical |
| 5 spots | $400 | $410 | 2% below typical |
| 6 spots | $1,500 | $1,100 | 36% above typical |
| 7 spots | $5,000 | $4,500 | 11% above typical |
| 8 spots | $10,000 | $10,000 | In line with the rest |
| 9 spots | $25,000 | $30,000 | 17% below typical |
| 10 spots | $100,000 | $100,000 | In line with the rest |
WCLC Keno falls short of the typical top prize on 4 of the 10 comparable spot counts and beats it on 2, which puts it on the tighter side of the games we track. Top prizes are only half the picture, though. Weighing every prize by its chance of landing, a $1 WCLC Keno ticket returns about 58.4% averaged across all spot counts, well behind the 62.7% typical for the comparison group. Either way the paytable is fixed, so no pick pattern and no spot count turns keno into a positive bet.
