  • Patent number: 10497214
    Abstract: A multi-jurisdictional master controller evaluates lottery data associated with each ticket purchased in each of the different jurisdictions as provided by each corresponding state server associated with each corresponding jurisdiction. A common jackpot is determined after each lottery ticket is purchased for the multi-jurisdictional lottery game that is accumulated from a percentage of each lottery ticket purchased. Each different jurisdiction is monitored to determine when a winning lottery ticket is identified in any of the different jurisdictions. Each state server associated with each different jurisdiction is notified of an updated common jackpot after each period of time expires based on the lottery tickets purchased in each of the different jurisdictions during the period of time. Each state server is notified when the winning lottery ticket is identified in any of the different jurisdictions during the period of time, thereby resetting the common jackpot to a minimum jackpot amount.

  • Publication number: 20160253877
    Abstract: The object of a combined bingo and keno game is to fill in a prearranged pattern of numbers as in a bingo game and the selection of lucky numbers as in a keno game. As these numbers are called at random, a secondary game can be played simultaneously. This secondary game allows the players to select a designated quantity of lucky numbers and be rewarded for correctly selecting any or all of the lucky numbers. This secondary game is a game of chance styled after a traditional keno game in which players select a set of numbers in anticipation of the selected numbers matching, in identity and/or sequence, a series of randomly generated numbers or an undisclosed, preselected series of numbers. The players are rewarded based on the accuracy of their selections.

  • 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.
