Abstract: A process provides a multi-priced lottery game with a first price point and a second price point such that (i) the first price point corresponds to a first known potential fixed prize and a first known potential percentage of a progressive prize and (ii) the second price point corresponds to a second known potential fixed prize and a second known potential percentage of the progressive prize. The second price point is greater than the first price point. The second known potential fixed prize is greater than the first known potential fixed prize. The second known potential percentage of the progressive prize is greater than the first known potential percentage of the progressive prize. Further, the process provides a portion of ticket sales for the multi-priced lottery game to a prize management fund.

Abstract: An instant lottery game and a draw based lottery game that are both based on a set of rules of a playing card game are established. Further, the instant lottery game is configured such that each of a plurality of potential outcomes of the instant lottery game has a corresponding instant lottery game point value. In addition, the draw based lottery game is configured such that each of a plurality of potential outcomes of the draw based lottery game in comparison with the plurality of potential outcomes of the instant lottery game has a corresponding draw based lottery game point value. A random selection of instant lottery game playing card indicia is also performed concurrently with a time of purchase of entry into the instant lottery game and the draw based lottery game.

Abstract: An instant lottery game and a draw based lottery game that are both based on a set of rules of a playing card game such that an entry into the instant lottery game provides automatic eligibility for an entry into the draw based lottery game are established. Further, a processor generates a random selection of a subset of a deck of playing card indicia concurrently with a purchase of a lottery ticket having the instant lottery game and the draw based lottery game. In addition, a ticket printer prints the subset of the deck of playing card indicia on a lottery ticket according to an order of the random selection and a plurality of order indicia such that each indicium in the plurality of order indicia has an association with a playing card indicium in the deck of playing card indicia to indicate an order in the subset of the deck of playing card indicia.

Abstract: A process is provided. The process generates, with a lottery machine apparatus, a predetermined quantity of unique combinations of a set of game indicia. Further, the process prints, with a lottery ticket printer, a set of lottery tickets for a lottery game such that each of the lottery tickets in the set of lottery tickets distinctly corresponds to one of the unique combinations of the set of game indicia. In addition, the process distributes a subset of the set of lottery tickets in a plurality of lots. The process also determines a maximum prize winner by selecting a winning unique combination from a subset of the predetermined quantity of unique combinations of the first set of game indicia that is associated with the subset of the set of lottery tickets.

Abstract: A multi-priced instant lottery game with a first price point and a second price point is provided such that (i) the first price point corresponds to a first known potential fixed prize and a first known potential percentage of a progressive prize and (ii) the second price point corresponds to a second known potential fixed prize and a second known potential percentage of the progressive prize. The second price point is greater than the first price point. The second known potential fixed prize being greater than the first known potential fixed prize. The second known potential percentage of the progressive prize is greater than the first known potential percentage of the progressive prize. Further, a set of indicia associated with an instant lottery game ticket is generated. In addition, the instant lottery game ticket with the set of indicia is printed with a lottery ticket printer.

Abstract: A reel based bonus game with a predetermined quantity of iterations that is initiated based upon a predetermined bonus game entry criterion in a reel based base game being met is established. The predetermined bonus game entry criterion is a predetermined arrangement of a plurality of base game symbols resulting from a random generation of a plurality of base game reels. The predetermined quantity of iterations is associated with the predetermined arrangement of the plurality of base game symbols. The plurality of base game symbols is a subset of base game symbols without wild functionality indicated on the plurality of base game reels. Further, an indication that the predetermined bonus game entry criterion has been met is received at a bonus game controller. In addition, a counter with a value equaling the predetermined quantity of iterations is established.

Abstract: A process provides operates, with a processor, a lottery game. Further, the process indicates, with the processor, a first price at which a lottery player can purchase a first price lottery entry into the lottery game. The first price lottery entry has a predetermined quantity of numbers. The process also indicates, with the processor, a second price at which the lottery player can purchase a second price lottery entry into the lottery game. The lottery player has to purchase the first price lottery entry to be eligible to purchase the second price lottery entry. The second price lottery entry has the predetermined quantity of numbers as provided with the first price lottery entry.

Abstract: A process provides a first price category and a second price category in which a lottery ticket can be purchased for a lottery game. The first price category is distinct from the second price category. The first price category corresponds to a first known portion of a grand linear prize and a first known portion of a linear prize associated with the lottery game. The second price category corresponds to a second known portion of the grand linear prize and a second known portion of the linear prize. The grand linear prize is greater than the linear prize.

Abstract: A process is provided. The process generates an initial lot of instant lottery tickets. The initial lot has an initial lottery prize structure. The initial lottery prize structure has an initial lot size. Further, the process randomly selects an extracted lot of instant lottery tickets from an aggregate lot. The extracted lot has (i) an extracted lottery prize structure that has identical odds to the initial lottery prize structure without being limited to the predetermined number of maximum prizes in the maximum prize category and the predetermined number of secondary prizes in the secondary prize category, and (ii) an extracted lot size that is less than the aggregate lot size.

Abstract: A process establishes a first price category corresponding to a first prize in a lottery game. The first prize funded from lottery ticket sales from the first price category. Further, the process establishes a second price category corresponding to a second prize in the lottery game. The second prize is distinct from the first prize. In addition, the second prize is funded from lottery tickets sales from the second price category without funding from the lottery ticket sales from the first price category. The process also indicates a predetermined multiple such that a potential prize distribution of the second prize is at least the multiple of a potential prize distribution of the first prize.
