More ways to win Keno in Kentucky

Big news for Kentucky lottery players! Playing the popular game Keno has gotten more fun since they've decided to add the new Bulls-Eye feature that adds a chance to win additional prizes.

All players are invited to add the Bulls-Eye to their Keno wager and if your Bulls Eye number matches the one drawn from one of the 20 winnings numbers you are a winner.

This move is no surprise, seeing as Keno is Kentucky's 2nd-most popular draw game. Lottery fans are always looking out for offers and more ways to win, so if that’s you, this is a great time to play Keno.

Players who add Bulls-Eye will pay double their Keno wager so if you play $5 on a Keno game, adding the Bulls-Eye feature will add an extra $5 to your wager. $10 in all.

"Players really respond well to any additional chances to win, and we think Bulls-Eye will be a hit with our core players," said Kentucky Lottery President and CEO Tom Delacenserie.

He said the lottery has an aggressive goal of Keno sales in excess of $100 million in the next two years, and that Bulls-Eye will be a big factor in this effort.

"Anything we can do to grow sales has a direct impact on growth of the college scholarship and grant programs we fund, including the popular KEES scholarship" says Delacenserie. "We know our state's best, brightest and most deserving students are counting on us."
