Abstract: A lottery selection device which is portable, lightweight and compact, so that it may be readily carried in a pocket or pocketbook of a player, yet will provide a hard surface upon which the lottery card can be marked while the player is waiting in line, as well as facilitate viewing of the numbers in the entry boxes and filling in of the desired choices. A preferred embodiment is disclosed, which is comprised of a base member within which a lottery card receiving slot and grid overlay are provided, and which provides a hard surface for supporting the card and a stencil framing the entry boxes. The support surface of the lottery card receiving slot is transparent and overlies an illumination source, so that the entry boxes and the numbers therein can be made more visible. To help the player decide on what numbers to select, a random number generating circuit and display is built into the base, whereby the player can generte random numbers of a desired number of digits, which can then be marked on the card.
