ABSTRACT:
A process for a telephone lotto number system and service is disclosed which allows a lotto player to use a touchtone phone, which is connected directly or indirectly via a RJ11 jack and telephone lines to telephone company central office equipment, to dial a conventional and dedicated inward calling phone number, e.g. "213-XXX-XXXX", to access and interact with a lotto computer, which is connected via a modem and telephone lines to telephone company central office equipment, to purchase and automatic or manual select a lotto selection ("6" lotto numbers) from a plurality of lotto numbers which are stored in the lotto computer's memory, and charge the dollar amount for the purchase of the lotto selection to a credit card. If the touchtone phone is used to dial an enhanced service phone number, i.e. a dedicated 900 inward calling phone number, to access and interact with the lotto computer to purchase and automatic or manual select the lotto selection, the telephone company to which the lotto player's touchtone phone is connected is permitted to bill and collect from the lotto player, via the lotto player's office or residence monthly telephone statement, a fixed dollar amount for the purchase of the lotto selection and a fixed telephone company line fee for use of the 900 phone number.
