Complete guide to Ontario Lottery and Gaming's Daily Keno: the 1 to 70 number field, two daily draws, Encore, odds for each pick count, paytables, and tips for smarter play.
Midday and evening draws, hot & cold numbers, frequency heatmap, and a number checker for your picks.
Unlike most keno games, which draw from 1 to 80, OLG Daily Keno draws 20 numbers from a field of just 1 to 70. A smaller field means your odds of matching are different from standard 80-number keno, so the paytables and probabilities below are calculated specifically for a 70-number game.
Daily Keno is run by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and is sold at lottery retailers across Ontario and online at olg.ca. There are two draws every day: a Midday draw at approximately 2:00 PM ET, and an Evening draw at approximately 10:30 PM ET.
Players choose between 2 and 10 numbers (called picks), and 20 numbers are drawn from the 1 to 70 field each draw. You win based on how many of your numbers match, according to the paytable for your pick count.
Pick 2–10 numbers from 1–70 and choose a wager of $1, $2, $5, or $10. Two draws happen each day, and 20 numbers are drawn from 70. You win based on how many of your numbers match, according to the paytable for your pick count. Prizes scale with your wager.
Encore is an optional add-on you can play with Daily Keno (and most other OLG games) for an extra $1. It is a separate game with its own draw and prize structure, offering additional ways to win. Encore is not part of the Daily Keno paytable and is not modeled in the odds below.
You can play OLG Daily Keno at any licensed OLG lottery retailer throughout Ontario (convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores), or online through olg.ca. You must be 18 or older to play.
All payouts below are for a $1 play. For a $2 play, double all payouts; for a $5 play, multiply by 5, and so on. Odds are calculated for the 1 to 70 number field.
