Huge Keno Win! On November 13, 2024, two players at Stake.com hit it big playing Keno, a popular lottery-style game winning close to $9 million.
The first winner bet $7,916.36, choosing an unusual strategy, picking six numbers in a straight line: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Most Keno players spread their numbers out, but this shows that any strategy can work.
The player matched five out of their six numbers, which triggered a 350x multiplier. This turned their bet into a massive $2,770,724.49 win. It's rare to see someone win over 350 times their initial bet in any game!
Second Big Win: 68 Bitcoin (About $6.18 Million)
The second win was even bigger. This player won 68 Bitcoin, which was worth about $6,181,000 at the time.
Bitcoin's value was around $90,000 per coin. This player also matched five out of six numbers on the High risk setting, just like the first winner. Their initial bet was about 0.196 Bitcoin, or $20,000, a very large bet even for high rollers.
Understanding Stake's Keno Game
Stake's version of Keno is a bit different from traditional Keno. Here's how it works:
- The game uses numbers from 1 to 40.
- Players can pick between 1 and 10 numbers.
- The game then randomly draws 10 numbers.
- Winnings depend on how many of your numbers match the drawn numbers.
Risk Levels in Stake's Keno
Stake's Keno has four risk levels:
- Classic: Lowest risk, max win is 100x your bet
- Low: Higher risk, max win is 1,000x your bet
- Medium: Even higher risk, max win is also 1,000x
- High: Highest risk, max win is still 1,000x
The higher risk levels are harder to win on, but they offer bigger payouts when you do win. Both big winners were playing on the High risk setting.
