Yes I believe that Connecticut should legalize Keno gambling to balance the state's two-year budget. Here in the State of Georgia, Keno is a large contributor towards our states educational and road way funding. Also with playing the lottery game Keno, you almost instantly have a chance to take home a couple of dollars and for some a monthly or lump sum of cash! From my experience, every four minutes there is money to be won! And Keno is not difficult to play.

According to the Georgia Lottery Current Keno Rules:

Players may wager one dollar ($1), two dollars ($2), three dollars ($3), five dollars ($5) or ten dollars ($10) per draw. Players may play from one to ten (1-10) Spots, which are your numbers. So players pick between one and ten (1-10) numbers and get ready. Every four minutes, twenty (20) numbers are drawn.

NOTE: For this game, all the prize amounts given will be for a one dollar ($1) bet. Just multiply by the amount wagered to generate those prize amounts.

In a 10 Spot game, players will win one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) if they match all ten (10) of their numbers. The player will win five grand ($5,000) if they match nine (9) of them. Matching eight (8) numbers will win five hundred bucks ($500). Matching seven (7) numbers wins fifty dollars ($50). Six (6) numbers wins ten dollars ($10), five (5) numbers wins two dollars ($2) and matching no numbers (0) wins five dollars ($5). Overall odds of winning a 10 Spot are 1:9.05

The 9 Spot jackpot prize is thirty grand ($30,000) for matching all nine (9) of their numbers. Match eight (8) and win three grand ($3,000), seven (7) and win a hundred and fifty ($150), six (6) and win twenty-five dollars ($25). Match five (5) and you win five dollars ($5). If you match four (4) numbers you will win one dollar ($1). Overall odds of winning a 9 Spot are 1:6.53

The 8 Spot game can win you a ten thousand dollar ($10,000) jackpot. Match all eight (8) of your numbers and you can win it. Match seven (7) of your numbers and you'll win five hundred dollars ($500). You win seventy-five dollars if you match six (6) of your numbers. Players win ten dollars ($10) if they match five (5) of the numbers and two dollars ($2) if they match four (4) numbers.

The overall odds of winning an 8 Spot game are 1:9.77. The overall odds of winning the 7 Spot games are 1:4.23 to win the jackpot; players simply match all seven (7) of their numbers. Seven (7) numbers equals four thousand bucks ($4,000). If they match six (6) of them
