When the max number of keno games (matching the amount of tickets) is finished, you should then get off your lazy butt and go retrieve your winnings.

Hell, you can take vacation to France and not have to worry about getting back in time to collect your numbers. Most "stray and play" cards are good for up to a whole year after you by it!
