  In particular, when the lottery result is “losing”, the user A may input a purchase instruction for the product “product 1” to the terminal device 2. In such a case, the terminal reception unit 21 receives a purchase instruction from the user. Then, the terminal processing unit 22 reads the user identifier “A” from the terminal storage unit 20, and transmits a purchase instruction to be transmitted from the user identifier and the received purchase instruction (for example, “purchase instruction product identifier =“ product 1 ”, User identifier = “A” ”). Then, the terminal transmission unit 23 transmits the configured purchase instruction to the server device 1.

  Next, the purchase instruction receiving unit 125 of the server device 1 receives a purchase instruction from the terminal device 2. Then, the purchase processing unit 138 performs processing corresponding to the received purchase instruction. The purchase processing unit 138 uses the number of lost selections or the number of lotteries (same meaning as the number of lottery executions) to be paired with the user identifier corresponding to the purchase instruction to purchase a product at a charge lower than the normal charge. Processing may be performed. For example, the purchase processing unit 138 calculates a purchase price by “a price included in the product information (for example,“ 20000 yen ”) × (1−the number of winnings × 0.1)”, and uses the purchase price to make a purchase approval. May be performed.
