Abstract: Systems and methods of the invention relate to integrating into an existing hard copy lottery ticket system for adaptation to sell soft copies of lottery tickets. A master virtual device can provide data communications related to a sale of a soft copy of a lottery ticket to a master terminal such that the master terminal processes the sale to a lottery authority as if the sale is for a hard copy of the lottery ticket. The master virtual device can include a virtual lottery application that is configured to receive data related to a request to purchase a soft copy of a lottery ticket, format and communicate such data to the master terminal, and communicate confirmation of the soft copy of the lottery ticket.
