Keno Odds
Here are all possible keno outcomes. For every possible number of spots
played you can see both the probability of each outcome and the odds
against that outcome happening. This shows, for example, that you have
roughly a 71-1 shot at hitting a 3-spot, while you are almost 85% likely
to catch only 0 or 1 on the same ticket.
For very large or very small numbers, scientific notation is used.
The term "e+nnn" means move the decimal point nnn places to the right,
adding zeroes as appropriate. Similarly, "e-nnn" means to move the decimal
point nnn places to the left, padding with zeroes. Thus, 1.42e-09 is
shorthand for .00000000142, while 2.71e+6 is another way of writing
2710000.
