I like some other Keno games better .... some Canadian keno games...for example Quebec's and Ontario's...have 70 numbers, and 20 are winners......and have better odds...

And, of course you don't play 20....depending of what you are trying to get, 10 numbers or less

Keno

To bad that at this time , Brasil is having trouble regulation (forbidden) electronic Keno and Bingo machines ...

About the Canadian games, yes Keno is one of the fancy games.
I was looking for the Atlantic Keno and possible variants.
Sure that there is some objections too.
Example:
fixed payments , no Jackpots and limits in earnings.
It is not possible to be a millionaire with only one ($1) bill.
A person would need at least $5 or more , in some cases $10!

With this type of probabilities , It would be surprising that there isn't a lot of winner tickets every day!
Keno is one of those games that could go trought very easy to very hard difficulty setting, because of it that in some games there would be limiting factors in the choice of numbers.In some cases, No ticket with a single winning number or not a 20 hits ticket!

Lotomania.

You need to look to the cash prize , not just the game odds.
For a $1 ticket, prizes of 1 million or even more is not uncommon.
Because the game is not "very easy" the Jackpot roll over the other draws.
Example, this week jackpot should be around 2.1 million.

Brasil Real $2.100.000.00 Million
Canada Dollars $1,152,803.35 Million

For the Keno, you would need $5 Canadian Dollars and it is not garanted to reach the $ 1 Million!

Sure, but these are just regional games...while the game you are talking about is not, and therefore can't compare them. In the games available to more people, there are much bigger prizes, while JP starting at more than 2.100.000....have seen some really, really big JPs...and , sure thing, bouncy balls games also...

and, it's possible to pay as low as less than 70cents for a combination...3 combination for $2, in Super7....which are probably among the best ticket prices if not even the best for a combination all around the world, if you are looking for a really huge JPs....

The only Keno games I know of that offer a million dollar prize are games offered at various casinos in Nevada (US). Several of them have even joined together as a financial hedge in case someone would win. That game is called the Millionaire's game and offers but an abysmal overall payout percentage of just below 40%. You can find it at any casino that promotes Nevada Numbers. Other casinos offer independent million-dollar games, but rarely do the payout percentages exceed 60%. It'll cost you money to chase that dream. What they have in common is that the game is played as a 10 Spot only on a 20/80 field and the 10/10 hit pays $1,000,000. Odds of hitting 10/10 in a 20/80 field are 1::8,911,711.18.

actually, the odds can be 1::8,911,711.18, as John said...probably I used a wrong formula...but however, hope he will explain in which way he got these odds...
