  • Patent number: 4892313
    Abstract: A device in the configuration and appearance of a slot machine enables a lottery player to compare the combination of numbers he has selected and entered in the lottery with the winning series of numbers from a lottery drawing. A window in the front of the fanciful slot machine device displays numbers which are set by the user in accordance with the winning numbers drawn in the lottery. The settable numbers may be mechanical or electronic, such as LED. Below the winning lottery number window is a window or series of windows disposed in a horizontal line, for displaying the user's selected combination of numbers from a lottery ticket fed through an infeed slot and into position by means of an advancing wheel or knob which may be manually rotated by the user. All number combinations selected by the user can be compared directly with the winning numbers by advancing the ticket, number series by number series, to make comparisons sequentially to the winning number combination.
