Abstract: Described herein are a method and apparatus for executing a draw-type lottery game between a plurality of players and a dealer. The draw-type lottery game includes a plurality of subgames and each of the subgames includes at least one hand of a blackjack-type game. The method includes, for each hand of each of the subgames, using a central computer system to generate for each of the players a player hand; to generate for the dealer a dealer hand; to compare each player hand to the dealer hand to determine whether the player or the dealer has a better blackjack hand; and to identify each player who has a better blackjack hand than the dealer as a winner of the hand. For each of the subgames, the central computer system determines a winner of the subgame based on the winner of the at least one hand of the subgame.
