ABSTRACT:
A variation of a lottery-type game of chance where each drawing is not only a stand-alone event, but each entry is also valid for a defined number of accumulation rounds. The numbers selected for the entry are then compared to a predefined number of consecutive drawings. The total number of matches (or “hits”) during all of these accumulation rounds is used to determine if the entry is a winner. This variation can be conducted alongside the standard lottery-type game without interference and entries can begin and end their accumulation period at different times during the duration of the game. Preferably each entry in the underlying game is a separate entry in the accumulation game and there is a single entry fee to add the accumulation option to a game slip regardless of the number of entries present on the game slip.
