KENO FDJ — How It Works (2026 Guide)

KENO is France’s flexible draw game. Pick between 2 and 10 numbers, choose your stake from €1 to €10, and play three times a week. The more you match — and the higher your stake — the bigger your prize.

How to Play KENO

KENO is simpler than EuroMillions or Loto — there are no fixed numbers to guess. Here is how it works:

  • Choose between 2 and 10 numbers from a grid of 1 to 70.
  • Choose your stake: €1, €2, €3, €5, or €10 per line.
  • At the draw, 20 numbers are drawn from the 70.
  • Your prize depends on how many of your numbers were drawn, how many you selected, and your stake.

The more numbers you pick, the harder it is to match them all — but the prizes get larger. Picking fewer numbers (2–4) gives you better odds of winning something, but smaller prizes.


KENO Prize Examples (€1 stake)

Numbers PickedNumbers MatchedPrize (€1 stake)
Pick 22 of 2€8
Pick 44 of 4€75
Pick 66 of 6€1,500
Pick 88 of 8€25,000
Pick 1010 of 10€150,000

Prizes scale with your stake. At €10 per line, the top prize for picking 10 numbers reaches €1,500,000. Partial matches also win prizes — you don’t need to match all your numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is KENO available for international players?
Yes. Like EuroMillions and Loto, KENO tickets can be purchased via licensed online lottery services that buy official FDJ tickets on your behalf. See our How to Play guide.
What is the best number selection for KENO?
There is no definitively “best” selection. Picking fewer numbers (2–4) gives you a higher probability of matching all your picks. Picking more numbers (8–10) gives you larger potential prizes but at lower probability. Your stake amount also directly multiplies your prize.
How are KENO winnings paid?
Standard prizes are credited directly to your licensed service account. For the monthly life prize option, FDJ typically arranges regular payments via the licensed service. France withholds no tax at source on KENO winnings.
