System and method for granting promotional rewards to both customers and non-customers

摘要

Methods of operating a promotional program for customers of a Banking institution are disclosed, comprising the dispensing a receipt with a symbol or picture thereon redeemable for a prize, wherein the dispensing of the receipt is accomplished through the use of an automated teller machine (ATM); and wherein the ATM machine dispenses the receipt after successful completion of a transaction. The symbol or picture may be printed or stamped or otherwise affixed on the receipt dispensed from the ATM, either before or during the transaction. ATM receipts with the symbol or picture may be irregularly or randomly dispensed. Such promotional programs may be used to give away varied prizes, including but not limited to tickets for sporting events.
