Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods and articles of manufacture provide for the distribution of a payout amount associated with a lottery ticket being conditioned or otherwise based on the payout amount. Some embodiments provide for determining a positive payout amount associated with a lottery ticket and determining at least one recipient and/or beneficiary of the positive payout amount based on (i) the positive payout amount and/or (ii) a recipient or beneficiary associated with the lottery ticket and/or the payout amount. In one embodiment, larger prizes (e.g., a jackpot prize, a prize greater than a predetermined threshold payout amount) are awarded to the player(s) of a virtual lottery ticket (e.g., shared by the players), and smaller prizes are distributed to a charitable organization (e.g., other than any of the players) selected by one or more players of the lottery ticket.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, processes and systems are provided for facilitating mass translations of documents by translators (e.g., freelance translators) via an online system which provides an interface for facilitating such translation. In accordance with one embodiments, the processes and systems provide for receiving an original document which includes both text and non-text (e.g., images, graphs, charts) components, extracting the text from the document, presenting the extracted text to a translator, receiving a translated text of the text and creating a translated version of the original document based on the received translated text and a layout of the original document, such that the aesthetic characteristics of the original document are generally preserved without the translator's efforts being distracted to such aesthetic characteristics and layout.
