Description

The invention relates to massive collective games and can be used when conducting different types of lotteries.

The famous game Sportloto [1]. The way of this game is that before the drawing (draw) the participant of the game gets a special card to participate in this game, after which he marks at least one of the variants of the proposed winning digital combination on this card. The disadvantage of the game is the need to use special cards, their transfer, storage, collection and processing.

There is also a known method of using a telephone system for lottery games, which consists in, inter alia, that participants must answer 4 questions. Questions are evaluative (subjective) in nature, do not have an unequivocal correct answer. The task of the participant is not just to answer the question, but to try with his answer to guess the most popular answers that other participants in the game give when answering each of the questions. Then you should send a short message (8M8). containing numbers of answers to questions. Each such message is paid and is also an application for participation in the lottery. The message should contain 4 digits, where each digit indicates the number of the selected answer option. The order of numbers correspond to the order of questions [2].

The disadvantage of this method is the need to guess the information and the need to store information in memory.

As a prototype, a method of playing the telephone lottery was adopted. It consists in the fact that the participants of the game before the draw register over the phone the played information and their code to identify the participants of the game after the draw, according to which the participants of the game register the index consisting of non-repeating numbers 3].

The objective of the invention is to simplify the lottery by reducing the number of documents circulated, eliminating the need for participants to memorize information, investing in the entry process and increasing the number of participants.

The task is solved by the fact that in a known way of holding a lottery, the fact is that the participants of the game before the draw register the played information and their code to identify the participants of the game after the draw, while the participants register the index consisting of numbers, letters and other symbols according to the invention, as the indices use unique identification numbers assigned to the participant or acquired by the participant for other purposes, and participation in the lottery of its unique number party claims payment or the payment agreement.

The task is also solved by the fact that the unique identification numbers of travel documents for travel by rail and air transport are used as the index, and the participants pay for participation in the lottery simultaneously with the purchase of the travel document.

The task is also solved by the fact that the unique identification numbers of state car signs, technical passports of motor vehicles and driving licenses are used as the index.

The task is also solved by using unique insurance identification numbers as the index.

The task is solved by the fact that as an index they use unique identification, if necessary, encrypted personal bank account numbers of individual and corporate depositors and holders of plastic cards.

The task is also solved by the fact that the unique identification numbers of the users of the cellular communication network are used as the index, and the participant confirms the payment by sending 8M8 or other means.

The task is also solved by the fact that the unique subscriber subscriber numbers of cell phones, 81M card numbers are used as the index, and the participant confirms the payment by sending 8M8 or by other means.

The task is also solved by the fact that, as an index, use unique numbers of local telephone subscribers, whose participation in the lottery is confirmed by payment when paying for services provided by urban and international telephone communications.

The task is also solved by the fact that the participant uses the same indices in different draws of the same lottery.

The task is also solved by the fact that the participant makes the amount of payment for participation in parts, and the amounts contributed by him accumulate on his personal account, while he participates in the drawing, on the date of which the amount on the account is fully formed.

The task is also solved by the fact that within the framework of one circulation draws are held in several levels, with for each level different amounts of payment and the corresponding remuneration are set.

The task is also solved by the fact that at the lower level a minimum cash prize is established, which is sufficient to pay it as a contribution for participation at the highest (second) level of the lottery.

The task is also solved by the fact that the payment of participation in the lottery is included in the tariff plan, by including in the minute cost of the call a surcharge for participation in the lottery, while the participant who gets more time to talk can claim a greater win.

The way of playing the telephone lottery is that its participants anyway, for other reasons, become owners of certain indices. For example, when you connect to a cellular network, when you buy a cell phone, the user will receive a personal identification number that does not match the indices of other users. On the other hand, such acquisitions are sometimes significant in size and only a small addition to the cost allows you to participate in the lottery and win significantly larger amounts.

For example, when organizing a lottery among users of a mobile communication network, any owner of a mobile phone who paid a fixed amount of payment during the drawing cycle becomes a participant in the lottery. Payment of the fee is the basis for the emergence of civil law relations, in accordance with which the participant is entitled to participate in the lottery and claim in case of winning the payment of prize money.

A feature of the lottery is that it is possible to organize a lottery in several levels (ranks). This means that for each level (grade) different amounts of contributions and prizes of different value are set, for example, a level - a contribution of $ 5. Here as a winnings can be cash wins and cash;

- a cash gain of 7-10 dollars. The winnings should be a supposedly somewhat larger contribution. Then the participant of the lottery who did not take this amount, by default or on his instructions, is a participant in the next 2 draws of the same level, and the remaining amount will allow him to participate in the next 3 draws, where he needs to add up to 3 dollars in addition to form a full contribution amount;

- win-win - it is proposed, for example, at the first level to play only mobile phones or other prizes, which at their cost will be approximately equivalent; drawing as prizes only mobile phones and accessories to them will greatly contribute to the expansion and development of the mobile network and improve the business image of the telecom operator and its rating;

level - a fee, for example, $ 10; the scheme of formation of the contribution is the same, but at this level, except for the funds according to the above scheme, computers, video audiotechnics, etc., are played out, for example.

At the third and subsequent levels, in addition to cash wins, high-quality audio-video equipment and household appliances can be played as wins, and at the highest level, in addition to cash wins according to the above scheme, cars can be played.

A feature of the lottery can be that anyone who wants to participate in the lottery draw can register their participation by means of an 8M8 message or by paying payments for cellular services for one or several draws.

The main and one of the most significant features of the lottery held in the cellular network is that the probability of winning each lottery participant increases with each draw cycle, since its index does not change, and its phone number will be played in each draw cycle, basically with a constant contingent of participants.

Similarly, you can hold a lottery when selling travel documents, for example, to railway transport or air transport using serial numbers of tickets. In this case, when selling a ticket, the passenger declares his desire to participate in the lottery, and the cashier charges him an additional fee for participation and using the ticket printing machine indicates the attributes necessary for the lottery, including, for example, the date of the lottery. In this case, the ticket after the use for its intended purpose remains with the user as a lottery ticket and can be presented with a prize for winning.

Similarly, lotteries can be conducted using state vehicle numbers, technical passports and driver's license numbers, as well as alphanumeric combinations on insurance policies, plastic bank cards and personal bank accounts of individual and corporate depositors as an alternative to lottery tickets.

In these cases, when conducting a lottery, all the above-mentioned features of conducting lotteries with possible modification thereof can be used.

The advantage of the proposed lottery method is the simplicity of participation, which does not require the participant to memorize any information and even the lack of the need to perform any actions, besides confirming the will to participate, on the one hand, and, on the other hand,

- 2 006282 maintaining such a lottery allows you to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of the main services provided to the user in a particular service sector.
