How do I play a simple keno ticket?

How can I play a simple keno ticket?

A basic example:
Let's say you decide to play a $1 6-spot. Pick a blank keno ticket, grab
a crayon and cross out your 6 choices with a plain X. On the right of
the ticket write "$1" and beneath that the number "6" to indicate you
are playing a 6-spot. Since you've already crossed out 6 numbers it's
kind of redundant to write "6" but this is used for cross-checking by
the dealer, as well as being important when playing fancy combination
tickets.
Having marked your ticket you now bring it to a dealer (also called a
writer) at the front of the keno lounge. It's a bit like standing in
line at a bank since the dealer positions look much like teller windows.
Hand your ticket and money to the dealer. He or she will make a copy of
your ticket and give you the copy, retaining the original. Dealers don't
use crayons to make copies: some keno lounges use brushes and india ink
while others use computers to generate copies. You are supposed to
verify your copy before leaving the window because in case of a big win
the house will verify that you actually marked those numbers on the
original ticket you gave the dealer. They index and save the original
tickets and will hunt through them if you catch a big winner. This is an
anti-counterfeiting measure.
Once you have your copy you find someplace comfortable and wait for the
rest of the players to be served. Eventually this happens and the house
declares the game "closed". All the original tickets are collected and
bundled together someplace visible to a video camera, and the balls are
mixed in the hopper. One of the dealers opens the portals and the chosen
balls work their way out. One by one the dealer calls out the numbers
and throws the switch that causes that number to light on the keno
board. After the 20th and last number is chosen the dealers return to
their stations. The few lucky winners rush to cash in while the rest of
the players decide what numbers to pick for the next game. U.S. tax law
requires winning tickets to be cashed immediately after the game;
otherwise casinos could deduct unclaimed payouts as potential future
liabilities. At least, this is what the casinos claim. Whether there
actually is such a tax law on the books is an open question. Certainly
casinos don't want to keep original tickets and other records any longer
than absolutely necessary, so a short time limit is obviously convenient
for them.
If you have a losing ticket for a game and you want to play the same
ticket for the next game, you don't need to mark up another blank
ticket. Just hand the losing ticket to the dealer along with the money
and they will make you another copy. Actually this works for winning
tickets, too. If you cash in a ticket that pays off, the dealer will
probably ask "Want to play it again?" If you answer yes you'll get back
a new ticket and your winnings, less the cost of the ticket for the next
game.
