ABSTRACT:
A method of playing a lottery game comprising inserting a currency bill or bank note bearing an alphanumeric code, such as a serial number, and denomination into a machine. The machine reads the alphanumeric code and denomination of the currency bill or bank note and stores the information as a set of numbers. The machine then prints a receipt bearing the alphanumeric code and denomination of the currency bill or bank note inserted into the machine and the day of drawing in the lottery game. The set of numbers is then transferred from the machine to a central or main computer's memory. The computer then randomly selects a set of numbers from the transferred set of numbers. The set of numbers chosen is the winning set of lottery numbers. In a preferred embodiment of the method, the central computer stores the number of times the currency bill or bank note has been inserted into any machine, along with the alphanumeric code and denomination of the currency bill or bank note, as a set of numbers. In the most preferred embodiment of the method, the central computer stores the number of times the currency bill or bank note has been inserted into any machine, along with the alphanumeric code and denomination of the currency bill or bank note, as a set of numbers and letters.
