ABSTRACT:
A system and method of selling pre-printed lottery game tickets, on-line lottery game tickets, or a combination of pre-printed and on-line lottery game tickets in a retail store is disclosed. At least one lottery game token is provided bearing a game identification code thereon for being scanned at a POS terminal provided as a part of an in-store POS network. The scanned identification code is detected by a POS monitor in communication with the POS terminal, the POS monitor determining from the scanned code the type of lottery game to be played. The POS monitor, or a separate ticket controller in communication with the POS monitor, will then issue a dispense ticket command to a ticket dispenser located at the POS terminal for each pre-printed lottery game to be played. For each on-line lottery game to be played, the detection of the game identification code will result in the generation of a random series of lottery play numbers, whereupon the POS monitor or the ticket controller will instruct a lottery ticket printer located at the POS terminal to print at least one lottery ticket thereat bearing the lottery play numbers thereon.
