That is how much the Pennsylvania Lottery<\/strong> brought in during its first 17 days. Keno<\/strong> sold its first ticket on May 1. When you do the math, the Pennsylvania Lottery took in over $2 million in revenue through Keno ticket sales in the first few weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe watched sales rise steadily through the morning, which shows that our players are excited to try this new game,\u201d said Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko<\/strong> in a press release<\/a>. \u201cBy lunchtime, Keno was selling at a clip of about 8,200 tickets per hour and still rising.\u201d<\/p>\n

The availability of Keno across the state undoubtedly contributed to the successful launch. Players can purchase tickets at one of over 9,400 lottery retailers<\/strong>. For players that want to watch their way to a winning ticket, there are about 600 locations<\/strong> across the state that house the large-screen gaming terminals with an animated version of the drawing. Gary Miller<\/strong>, a lottery spokesman, expects that number to grow.<\/p>\n

Before the launch, Svitko claimed Keno would pay players $0.65 on the dollar<\/strong>. In the first 17 days, Keno paid players $1.3 million<\/strong>, a return of $0.65 per dollar to players.<\/p>\n
