This invention is a method of playing a lottery game inserting (14) a currency bill or bank note bearing an alphanumeric code, such as a serial number, and denomination into a machine. The machine reads code (16) and denomination of the bill and stores the information as a set of numbers (18). The machine then prints a receipt (20) bearing the alphanumeric code and denomination of the bill inserted, and the day of drawing in the lottery game. The set of numbers is then transferred (22) from the machine to a central or main computer's memory. The computer then randomly selects a set of numbers from the transferred set of numbers. The set of numbers chosen is the winning set of lottery numbers. The computer can store the number of times the currency bill has been inserted into any machine, along with the alphanumeric code and denomination of the currency bill, as a set of numbers. Further, the computer can store the number of times the currency bill has been inserted into any machine.
