Oregon Keno is operated by the Oregon Lottery and available at authorized retailers throughout the state: bars, restaurants, convenience stores, and other licensed locations. Players pick 1 to 10 spots from a board of 80 numbers. Twenty numbers are drawn each game. Prizes are determined by how many of your spots match.
Draws happen every 4 minutes, from 5 AM to 4 AM every day. Live draw results display on in-store monitors at participating locations, so you can watch along over a meal or on a quick stop.

You must be 18 or older to buy an Oregon Lottery keno ticket. That is the same age that applies to Scratch-its and jackpot games like Powerball. The separate 21-and-over rule in Oregon covers Video Lottery terminals and sports betting, not keno tickets. In practice, many keno monitor locations are bars where the venue itself enforces a 21-and-over door policy, so the age you can actually play at a given spot depends on the retailer.
No. The Oregon Lottery does not sell keno tickets online. Every ticket has to be bought in person at a licensed retailer. The Oregon Lottery mobile app does let you watch the live keno board in real time and scan a paper ticket to check it, but it cannot sell you a game.
One option worth knowing about is Keno To Go, which lets you buy games at a retailer and set them to start at a later time that day. You then follow the draws on the live board at home or on the app instead of standing at the counter.
Oregon Keno launched in September 1991 and was the first fast-draw monitor keno game offered by a US state lottery. Before that, keno in the United States was mostly a casino game. Oregon's version put a keno board on a TV screen in bars and restaurants and ran a fresh draw every few minutes, a format that most other state lotteries later copied.
The game has been expanded several times since. The Bulls-Eye add-on gives one of the 20 drawn numbers bonus status, the Keno Multiplier can multiply prizes by up to 10x, the Special Keno option trades small prizes for a $1 million top prize, and the 8-spot game carries a rolling jackpot bonus that grows until someone matches all eight. Keno brought in $106 million in sales for the Oregon Lottery in fiscal year 2025.
Both games start at 1 spot, but Oregon tops out at 10 spots while Massachusetts goes to 12. Oregon's standout features are Bulls-Eye and the Special Keno paytable, neither of which Massachusetts has an equivalent of.
Oregon Keno's most distinctive feature is Bulls-Eye. One of the 20 drawn numbers is designated as the Bulls-Eye number. If one of your chosen spots matches the Bulls-Eye number, you win a bonus prize on top of your regular keno winnings.
Bulls-Eye is an optional add-on that costs extra per ticket. The bonus payout varies by spot count and can significantly increase prizes on lucky draws, functioning as a multiplier on eligible wins.
The Bulls-Eye feature adds cost but can multiply a smaller catch into a much larger payout. Review the current Bulls-Eye paytable at your retailer to decide if the added cost fits your budget and playing style.
Prizes shown per $1 wagered. Multiply by your actual bet for the full payout. Always verify current paytables at your retailer or the Oregon Lottery website, since paytables may change.
