Publication number: 20160210822Abstract: A game combines the features of a lottery game and a race game. The actual race itself is conducted with each race participant being assigned specific numbers. Specific finishers of the race are determined (i.e., first through third place finishers) and the numbers associated with those finishers form a pool from which random numbers are drawn to determine a winner. Thus, the game combines the element of chance with the excitement of a race and permits the participants to exercise discretion in influencing the odds for ultimately winning the game. This combination of elements is such that the interest of the participants is maintained throughout the game from initial selection of the participants to the eventual running of the race and drawings of the winners.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2016Publication date: July 21, 2016Applicant: Intralot S.A.
