A new lottery game provides players with an expanded opportunity to win a prize based on a play. The new lottery game increases official lottery revenues by encouraging increased play of local lotteries. The new lottery game includes a system and a method for monitoring lottery results in jurisdictions other than that of the player. A player in one jurisdiction may play a local lottery game and not match the draw in that jurisdiction. However, the numbers chosen by the player may match a draw conducted in another jurisdiction. In this event, the player may win a consolation prize that may be smaller in amount that the jackpot awarded in the player's own jurisdiction. Whereas before the player would have won nothing from the player's own local lottery, the player playing the new lottery game at least wins some money. The lottery game may be twined, or coupled to a local lottery game. Plays and payments in the lottery may be received via an Internet website.
