  • Patent number: 5934671
    Abstract: A fund raising pull tab or break-open ticket game that provides the player a chance to win an instant monetary prize and qualify for a chance on the seal card prize or bonus board award on the same ticket, enabling the game operator full security and game integrity. Security and game integrity is achieved by printing a serial number which is assigned to a game set of tickets at two or more separate locations on the ticket. This would enable the game operator to separate an instant win/qualifier ticket into two or more separate parts should the player reveal symbols on the ticket indicating this to be an instant winning/qualifying ticket. The game operator would then separate the ticket, payout the instant win portion of the ticket, and retain it for accounting purposes. The player would keep the other half or remaining parts of the ticket until the qualifying bonus round of the game.
