  • Patent number: 6793219
    Abstract: A variation of a lottery-type game of chance where each drawing is not only a stand-alone event, but each entry is also valid for a defined number of accumulation rounds. The numbers selected for the entry are then compared to a predefined number of consecutive drawings. The total number of matches (or “hits”) during all of these accumulation rounds is used to determine if the entry is a winner. This variation can be conducted alongside the standard lottery-type game without interference and entries can begin and end their accumulation period at different times during the duration of the game.
