Rhode Island Lottery players in Providence can enjoy a midday pick-me-up when they purchase their Keno tickets from the Neon Marketplace located at 288 Kinsley Avenue, Providence between 11.30 a.m. and 1.30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13th. Each player who buys a Keno ticket will get a complimentary cup of coffee.
That’s not all. For every $5 Keno purchase you make, you can pick a number from the Keno board to reveal a prize (while supplies last). Every $5 Keno play also gets you an entry to a raffle for a pair of Rhode Island Football Club game tickets.
How to play Keno
The Rhode Island Lottery version of Keno was introduced in 1992 and is similar to the original game. With a matrix of 10 of 20 of 80 numbers, you can win up to $100,000 playing regular Keno, up to $500,000 playing Keno Overtime, or up to $1,000,000 by adding the Keno Plus option.
To play, choose 1-10 numbers between 1 and 80. If some or all of them are selected by the centralized computer, you win. The more numbers you match, the higher your prize. In a 10 Spot game, it’s even possible to win a prize when none of your numbers are drawn.
You can purchase lottery tickets from your local lottery retailer, at the Rhode Island Lottery website, or by using your Rhode Island Lottery app. New games are drawn every 4 minutes Monday through Saturday 5:00 a.m. to 12:44 a.m. and Sunday 7:00 a.m. to 12:44 a.m.
Watch animated Keno drawings
If you don’t have time to watch the Keno drawings at your lottery retailer, you can use the Keno On The Go app to watch them wherever you are. Let your excitement build as you see each winning number drawn. Keno winning numbers are also available on the Rhode Island Lottery website after each drawing. In fact, you can see the result of the most recent 1,000 games, so you’ll always know if you’re a winner.

How the lottery helps Rhode Island
After prizes, awards, and commissions are given out, revenues from Rhode Island Lottery sales are turned over to the state’s General Fund. The fund benefits all Rhode Island residents by supporting education, tax relief, law enforcement, public safety, and human services. Since 1974, the Rhode Island Lottery has donated more than $8.3 billion to the State's General Fund, which makes everyone in the state a winner.
