An odds question with abbreviated wheels.
In a KENO game if your playing P6 & 15 numbers and you got lucky and hit 6, 7 or 8 of the 20 numbers picked in your 15 numbers, would the odds of hitting all 6 of the numbers on one line be better for a 3 if 3 game or would one of the other ifs be better? (3 if 4, etc.)
We know each method requires a different quantity of numbers to play. But would one 'if' have over all better odds of hitting than the others.
I'm guessing there are too many variables to find out.

I may have asked for the information I would like the wrong way. I'll try again..
In a KENO game they pick 20 numbers.
If you can successfully predict 5 to 8 of the 20 numbers drawn in a pool of 15 numbers and in KENO you can play a Pick 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10.
What I would like to know is What would be the best way to play the 15 numbers without breaking the bank?
Are some of the wheels that are available better than others?
Here is the breakdown of the payouts in our area.
10 of 10----$250,000.00
9 of 10----$5,000.00
8 of 10----$200.00
7 of 10----$25.00
6 of 10----$5.00
0 of 10----$2.00
9 of 9----$50,000.00
8 of 9----$1,000.00
7 of 9----$100.00
6 of 9----$5.00
5 of 9----$2.00
8 of 8----$25,000.00
7 of 8----$200.00
6 of 8----$10.00
5 of 8----$2.00
7 of 7----$5,000.00
6 of 7----$100.00
5 of 7----$5.00
6 of 6----$1,000.00
5 of 6----$25.00
4 of 6----$2.00
5 of 5----$250.00

You can't predict keno numbers.
If you have a set of 15 favorite numbers, of which 6 show up on the board, then the best game to play is 6 spot. If 7 of your 15 favorite numbers show up on the board, then the best game to play is 7 spot. In general, if n numbers show up on the board, play the n spot game because then you will win the largest amount of money.
The only problem here is that if 6 of your 15 favorite numbers show up in a game and you buy a 6 spot ticket for the next game, it doesn't mean those 6 numbers will show up again. Every game is an independent random drawing of 20 numbers out of 80.
