A lottery

摘要

Disclosed is a computerised gaming system with at least one computer system. The computer system records entries to a game and determines one or more winners of the game. The game has an entry fee and is conducted in at least a first phase and a final phase. The first phase consists of one or more games from which the number of entries in each first phase game is reduced substantially so that the number of entries which progress from the first phase games to the final phase is substantially less than the number of entries in the first phase games. The entries in the final phase are entered into a final game which game includes a final prize which may or may not be won. The entry fee for all first phase entries includes an amount which is allocated to be set aside and/or used to fund or to purchase insurance against the winning of the final prize.
