ALPHANUMERIC LOTTERY GAME SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A lottery game and systems and methods for administering the lottery game wherein the lottery administrator defines game parameters that in turn define the contours of a game instance pool. Time based games are created by defining the duration for which the pool remains open to wagering or a date and time in the future when it closes. Pool based games are created by limiting pot size or number of participants and the pool is closed when the limit is reached. Outcome based games are created by defining or receiving multiple outcomes to be associated with bets placed. Wagers are made on plays of alphanumeric combinations that correspond to one or more entries into a pool array, from which one or more winners are chosen in a random drawing subsequent to the close of the pool.
