Definitions

  • THIS invention relates to a method of operating a lottery.
  • a method of operating a lottery comprising:
  • the method may include the step of participants contacting the lottery operator to be advised of their lottery numbers.
  • the participants are required to contact the lottery operator on a designated number of the mobile telephone service.
  • the step of comparing the winning lottery number with the lottery number of participants may be carried out by requiring the participants to contact the lottery operator to supply their lottery number and/or to be advised of the winning lottery number.
  • the method may further include the step of requiring a participant whose lottery number corresponds to the winning lottery number to contact the lottery operator to claim a prize.
  • the participants may be required to contact the lottery operator on a designated number of the mobile telephone service.
  • the participants contact the lottery operator by making calls to a voice responsive unit at a call centre.
  • the participants may contact the lottery operator by sending short messages to a data centre using a short message service of the mobile telephone service.
  • the lottery number allocated to each participant is derived from the Mobile Subscriber Integrated Service Digital Number (MSISDN) of the participant.
  • MSISDN Mobile Subscriber Integrated Service Digital Number
  • Figures 1 & 2 are simplified flowcharts illustrating the process by which a subscriber obtains his/her lottery number and a winning lottery number from a VRU based call centre, according to the method of the invention
  • Figure 3 is a simplified flowchart showing how a subscriber obtains his/her lottery number using a short message service of the telephone service operator; and Figure 4 is a simplified flowchart showing the procedure utilised by a subscriber to obtain the winning lottery number utilising the short message service.
  • the present invention aims to provide a method of operating a lottery in which the participants in the lottery are essentially predetermined by their being subscribers to a mobile telephone service (in most cases, a cellular telephone service). Instead of providing for individuals to enter the lottery on a random, voluntary basis, the invention enters each subscriber in a lottery automatically from time to time, so that it is only necessary for the subscribers to enquire from the lottery operator as to whether or not they have won.
  • MSISDN Mobile Subscriber Integrated Service Digital Number
  • HLR Home Location Register
  • PLMN Public Land Mobile Network
  • each subscriber's MSISDN is unique, either the number itself or, preferably, a number or code derived from the number can be utilised to determine a unique "lucky number” or lottery number for each subscriber.
  • a number or code derived from the number can be utilised to determine a unique "lucky number” or lottery number for each subscriber.
  • another number, code or other data which is unique to each subscriber could be used for deriving a lottery number.
  • Subscribers can generally be classified into pre-paid and contract (or postpaid) subscribers. Subscribers in the former group generally purchase "air time" in the form of pre-paid SIM cards which are "loaded” with a predetermined credit which is decremented as the user makes calls.
  • Contract or post-paid subscribers are usually those whose credit-worthiness has been assessed as being sufficiently good for them to be invoiced monthly in arrears for calls made.
  • sub-groups may be identified, for example: subscribers to various subscription packages offered by network operators; corporate users, and so on. It will be appreciated that the lottery of the invention can be made applicable to all active subscribers, or any combination of groups and sub-groups. The latter possibility may be useful, for example, in conducting promotions of certain packages or services of a network operator.
  • An SQL database is utilised to store the MSISDN's of the selected subscribers, and a suitable algorithm is then applied to each number to generate lottery numbers from each MSISDN.
  • the lottery number or code for each subscriber can be determined in various ways.
  • the lottery number can be generated once for each subscriber, or new numbers can be generated from time to time if required. Set out below is an example of a method of generating lottery numbers for each subscriber:
  • the MSISDN is usually an 11 digit number, for example:
  • the first two digits are the country code. The next few digits are the area code and/or the Home Location Register (HLR). The last five digits are the unique subscriber number.
  • HLR Home Location Register
  • the "lucky number” or lottery number is nine digits in length. The first two digits (ie. the country code) are dropped. The third digit will be multiplied by nine and only the second digit of the solution is used.
  • the fourth digit is multiplied by three and only the second digit of the solution is used.
  • the sixth digit is the relevant number less one.
  • the seventh digit is multiplied by seven and only the second digit of the solution is used. 0 _z 0
  • the eighth digit is the relevant number less three and only the second digit of the solution is used.
  • the ninth digit is the relevant number plus three and only the second digit of the solution is used.
  • the tenth digit is the relevant number plus four and only the second digit of the solution is used.
  • the eleventh digit is left unchanged.
  • SMS Short Message Service
  • the telephone service operator can be utilised by subscribers to transmit a request to a message or data centre for their individual lottery number, the lottery number then being transmitted back to the subscriber as a short message.
  • the flowchart of Figure 3 illustrates this process graphically.
  • a computer From time to time, typically on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, a computer will generate a winning lottery number on a pseudo random basis or another acceptable basis.
  • the subscriber whose lottery number corresponds to the winning lottery number is not automatically advised of this fact, but it is left to subscribers to check whether or not they have won. In order to do this, they must contact a call centre/message centre in much the same manner as described above in order to identify themselves and to be advised of whether or not they have won.
  • the relevant voice and message based procedures are illustrated in the flowcharts of Figures 1 and 4. By way of example, the following procedure can be utilised in the case of calls to a call centre:
  • a special number is allocated (eg. 777) which the subscriber dials to reach the call centre.
  • the consumer is prompted to press a designated key if he/she knows his/her lottery number, in which case a computer generated voice message is generated, which reads out the winning number. If the number matches the subscriber's lottery number, he/she presses another designated key to be transferred to a claims department agent who obtains further details of the subscriber in order to verify them, and provides the subscriber with a claim number.
  • the subscriber then has a limited period of time (say, two days) to go to a designated claims office with identification, his/her subscriber identity module (SIM) card, and/or other suitable identifying means, in order to claim the prize.
  • SIM subscriber identity module
  • the subscribers contacting the call centre can be asked for their lottery number as described above, and are then told whether or not their number is a winning number, without being given the winning number itself. In due course, the winning number can be published for purposes of transparency.
  • the essence of the invention is the fact that a group of telephone service subscribers are automatically entered in a lottery or draw, and are required to make a call to enquire as to the result of the draw, thereby generating the necessary revenue to fund the prizes awarded.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de loterie consistant à attribuer des numéros de loterie à chacun des participants, en l'occurrence les abonnés d'un service de téléphonie mobile. Ce numéro peut être déduit du numéro RNIS de la station mobile de l'abonné ou de données autres. Périodiquement, un numéro de loterie gagnant est généré. Les abonnés doivent alors contacter un centre d'appels pour savoir si leur numéro correspond au numéro gagnant. Les recettes générées par les appels permettent de financer la loterie.
