Complete guide to Georgia Lottery Keno — one of the fastest lottery keno games in the US, with draws approximately every 3.5 minutes.
Georgia Lottery Keno is a draw-style lottery game available at authorized Georgia Lottery retailers throughout the state. Players choose 1 to 10 spots from a board of 80 numbers. Twenty numbers are drawn each game.
What sets Georgia Keno apart is its draw frequency of approximately every 3.5 minutes — faster than most other state lottery keno games, which typically draw every 4 minutes. This makes it one of the most rapidly paced lottery games available at retail in the Southeast.
At ~3.5 minutes per draw, Georgia Keno runs about 17 draws per hour — slightly more than the typical 15 draws per hour for 4-minute keno games. Over a 2-hour session, that's a meaningful difference in total games played (and wagered). Set a session budget accordingly.
