  • Publication number: 20160148469
    Abstract: A method of conducting a multi-jurisdictional lottery game includes maintaining a jackpot for the multi-jurisdictional lottery game and establishing a minimum amount of the jackpot. Lottery players in each of the participating lottery jurisdictions purchase tickets and a portion of the ticket price is contributed to the multi jurisdictional lottery game jackpot. An updated jackpot amount is communicated to each of the jurisdictions. A notification is issued from one of the jurisdictions that a potential winning jackpot player has won the multi-jurisdictional lottery game. The multi jurisdictional lottery game, in the form of a master controller then verifies that the potential winning jackpot player has won the multi-jurisdictional lottery game. Each of the jurisdictions is then notified that the multi-jurisdictional lottery game has been won if the verification indicates as such. Once the jackpot is won, it is then re-established at the minimum amount and a new game commences.

  • Publication number: 20060284851
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for recognizing handwritten alphanumeric characters placed at varying, programmable angles across a display device. Therefore, the system and method can recognize handwritten characters entered at different angles, yet maintains other textual information at a horizontal angle relative to the display device. Therefore, a user can enter handwritten information at any desired angle convenient and less cumbersome to the user, yet allows a user to read text at the natural, horizontal display position as if the display is presented within the horizontal viewing angle of the user. This prevents the user from having to tilt his/her head to read text arranged at the same angle as the handwritten input.
