Keno cards have a total of 80 numbers, but the user is granted an additional level of personal responsibility by being able to choose as many (or as few) numbers as he needs. And it doesn’t take a nuclear physicist to ascertain how to fill out a card: all you do is circle or otherwise mark each of your desired numbers with a every day oldmarker like you used when you were in third grade.
Once you’ve marked your numbers, carry the card back to the girl at the keno stand. The nice person will record those numbers and then give you a receipt.

These include the self same set of your picked numbers on anywhere from two to 20 cards. When the max number of games (fitting the number of tickets) is played out, you should then get off your numb bum and go collect your winnings.
