Abstract: A method and apparatus for effectuating the multilateral, sponsor driven winning of multiple “collect & win” games by individuals or businesses. The system allows individuals to share information pertaining specifically to so called “collect & win games” where a “piece” is needed in conjunction with other pieces, to win a prize from a game sponsor. The system receives and stores data on its members including their pieces, the game involved, as well as any requested information. The system matches one member's (“player's”) “piece” with pieces of another player or players. The system then sorts the data and alerts our staff of possible winners with “matching” pieces.
