ABSTRACT:
Presented is a random alpha-numeric selector device useful for selecting combinations of random letter or random numbers or combinations of these for participating in lottery, lotto games, and/or Keno-type "match" games, and useful also for selecting combinations of random characters for participating in an alphabet teaching session. Structurally, a rectangular box having opposite transparent sides is provided with a matrix plate enclosed within the box with the matrix plate provided with recesses formed to accommodate spherical balls that may be agitated within the box and which randomly settle in the recesses. One side of the matrix may contain 80 recesses, for instance, with 7 or 8 balls so that the device may be utilized for randomly selecting numbers to be played in the game of keno, or randomly selecting letters of the alphabet to assist elemenary school students in identifying the letters of the alphabet. Alternatively, the opposite side of the matrix, also provided with recesses, may contain only 49 recesses, and 6 balls so that the device may be utilized to randomly select six numbers for playing the game Lotto 6/49.
