How we label freshness
Every state below carries one of three honest badges, based on how often our results actually refresh — not just how often the lottery draws.
Every few minutes
Near real-time, matching the lottery's ~4-minute draw pace. Requires a source we can poll continuously — on our roadmap, not live yet.
Refreshed through the day
A scheduled job pulls the newest draws roughly once an hour, all day. Recent history is current within the hour.
Published once a day
The source posts a full day's results after the gaming day ends, so the newest complete day is usually yesterday.

How the data actually works
Keno is one of the fastest lottery games anywhere — most states draw a fresh set of 20 numbers every 4 minutes, from early morning to the small hours. KenoSpots is not the live draw monitor; it is your history and analysis companion: recent winning numbers, hot and cold tracking, and a free checker for your picks.
Why most states say “Hourly”
A scheduled job fetches the newest draws for each state about once an hour and caches them so the pages load instantly. The state lotteries draw faster than that, so for a single draw in real time you would watch the official site — but for browsing the recent history, our hourly cache is current within the hour.
Why New York is “End of day”
New York Quick Draw results come from the state's official open-data feed, which posts a full day's draws only after that gaming day ends (around 3:28 AM). So the newest complete day is usually yesterday. Rather than slap a “LIVE” badge on day-old numbers, we label New York honestly and let you browse the published results by date.
What “Live” will mean here
True minute-by-minute “Live” updates — matching the ~4-minute draw pace — are on our roadmap for the states whose sources support continuous polling (Massachusetts, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and North Carolina). When a state moves up to near real-time, you will see the green Live badge here and on its results page. Until then, we would rather under-promise than fake it.
