The present invention is an additional bet to the game of Keno. The last ball drawn is used as a basis for betting. The player may bet any one of five ways: the exact number, whether it is top half or lower half, which quadrant it falls in: lowest, mid low, mid high, highest; whether it is odd or even, or the last digit of the number of the last drawn ball. The betting is added to a Keno betting ticket.
