Abstract: A pulltab game includes a set of pulltab cards, wherein each winning card within the set comprises a prize-verification code. In some examples, the prize-verification code is encoded by a barcode printed underneath one of the perforated tabs of the winning card. A prize-redemption kiosk is configured to automatically dispense a cash prize upon verifying the prize-verification code on the winning card. For instance, the prize-redemption kiosk can include a barcode scanner configured to scan the barcode to extract the prize-verification code, and then verify that the prize-verification code has not already been redeemed.

Abstract: A prize-redemption device is configured to: receive, from a remote computing system, a set of game data for a pulltab game comprising a plurality of pulltab cards to exclusively pair the pulltab game with the prize-redemption device; scan a scannable prize-verification code on one of the plurality of pulltab cards; verify the pulltab card as a winning card by determining, based on the prize-verification code and the game data, that the pulltab game is paired with the prize-redemption device and/or activated for redemption on the device, and that the pulltab card has not already been redeemed; and, in response to verifying the pulltab card, dispensing a cash prize associated with the pulltab card.

In some examples, the prize-verification code is encoded by a scannable code printed underneath one of the perforated tabs of the winning card. A prize-verification device is configured to scan the scannable code to verify a prize-verification code for the winning card. The prize-verification device can include a kiosk machine, a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, and/or a handheld mobile optical scanner.
