Abstract: The invention is a commercial or lottery instant game played with a ticket which bears a pre-printed number for the lottery game and no number for the commercial game. A random generated number is printed on the ticket for digit comparison with the pre-printed lottery number or digit sameness comparison of the printed random number on the commercial ticket. Sensing of the ticket stops a random number generator with a memory holding the random number developed on stopping. This number is printed on the ticket and displayed. In the absence of a ticket the device displays changing numbers as an attraction. The ticket may be validated by sensing and encoded with special information.
