ABSTRACT:
A cage having rotatable paddles coupled to an electrical motor is provided for retaining and mixing lottery balls. A transparent enclosed chute for retaining and displaying a given number of selected lottery balls is located adjacent the cage. Cage inlet and outlet openings connect the cage and the chute. Lottery balls enter the chute through the cage outlet opening and exit the chute through the cage inlet opening after being viewed. A gate adjacent the cage inlet opening holds the selected lottery balls in the chute until all the balls are selected and viewed. An electrical circuit having a switch located in the chute is provided which deactivates the motor when actuated by the last ball in the chute to be selected and hence when the desired number of lottery balls are in the chute. The electrical circuit has another switch for opening the gate to allow the balls in the chute to pass back into the cage after viewing.
