  Payout sucks!

  I once knew a person who play $90/90 different slips each day, he would win the prize for matching 9 numbers a couple of times per week.  He finally won the big prize for matching ten and retired.  $90 sounds, reasonably if you are winning the $2,500 prize per week.  He quit before I could find out his strategy.

  I'm not sure why michigan keeps keno, if you look at the annual report it states that keno brings in less than 1% of the total sales but has a strong loyal following. That makes no sense to keep it, it needs to be cut!

  I don't know why they are keeping it either. 
  
  The odds are about 2.6 million to 1 and your potential winnings are capped at $250,000.
  
  If you spent the dollar on the Megaplier  your odds only go up to 3.8 million to 1 and you get $1,000,000 dollars.
  Plus you always have a chance at a big jackpot along with other prizes.
  
  The Keno is RNG and the Mega is ball draws.
  
  I have suggested to them several times (starting at least 10 years ago)  that they make it a jackpot game 10/22/xx and another ball set that you match 1 ball from to get the jackpot.
  
  They could dump the tired and clunky Classic 47 and have a new in state jackpot game.
