Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to number generating devices and, more specifically, to electronic computing devices which generate random numbers appropriate to the playing parameters of various lottery games.
  • R.C. Lawlor U.S. Patent 3,612,845
  • R.C. Lawlor U.S. Patent 3,612,845
  • noise signals from a diode and clock pulses from a clock pulse source are fed to input legs of a logic circuit such as an AND gate, causing pulses of various amplitudes to appear in the output of the circuit.
  • Complex threshold circuits are then required to eliminate low level pulses leaving high level random pulses. Only one random output at a time is provided.
  • S. Harrington et. al U.S.
  • Patent 4,151,404 provided a random digit generator which samples a random pulse output, displays that output, determines a second random number and adds it to the first and displays it. This system is clearly unsuitable for the present purpose because each output is inherently greater than the previous output and, therefore, while the first output is truly random, each suceeding output is not truly random.
  • T. Newman (U.S. Patent 4,227,064), provided a lottery generating method and apparatus which requires a user to depress one pushbutton for each numeral tu be randomly selected, whereas one pushbutton is clearly prefereable. Also, each number is chosen independently of all previous choices; however, in most lotteries, no number may be selected twice.
  • an object of the present invention to provide a random lottery computer which provides a visual display of any number of randomly selected numbers made independent of any other selection and which may be powered by a battery or solar cell.
  • the invention 10 is illustrated in figures 1 and 2 which are identical except for their power sources.
  • the invention 10 is powered by an internal battery in figure 1 and by a solar cell 12 in figure 2.
  • the display which reads GOOD LUCK, (numeral 16) flashes.
  • the game is then selected by sliding game selector switch 18 to the appropriate position.
  • game selector switch 18 points to the "6" game thereby selecting a game to be played with "6" pairs of digits (i.e. 25-16-34-18-22-04).
  • lotto play button 20 is depressed the actual randomly selected number is displayed in LCD display 22 until power off switch 24 is depressed or until some pre-determined time interval has been reached.
  • the game to be played must now be selected. This is accomplished by a system which includes three hard-wired Jumpers Jl, J2 and J3 and game selector switch 18' which is a double pole five throw selector switch with sections 18A' and 18B'.
  • the combination of jumpers and switch selections comprise a selection matrix which, via terminals Kl, K2, K3, K4, K5, K6, K7 and K8 (pins 8,7,6,5,4,3,2 and 1 respectively) instructs microprocessor 30 as to which game is to be played.
  • the complete range of game possiblilities is fixed programmed into microprocessor 30, and from this entire set of possibilites, the range of the player's selection is further limited by the presence or absence of jumpers Jl, J2, or J3.
  • This configuration thereby defines the range of each selection, the number of b elections to be made, and whether the selection are single digit or double digit. The entire choice set and possible subsets will be described below.
  • the rate at which random numbers are selected is determined by the clock rate of microprocessor 30 which is in turn determined by oscillator resistor R osc '
  • the player may select from any of five games: a three selection single digit game (35), a four selection single digit game (4S), a four selection double digit game (4D), a five selection double digit game (5D) and a six selection double digit game (6D). These game selections are labelled on game selector switch 18'.
  • the possible games for this particular embodiment are best understood with reference to figure 5.
  • the presence or absence of jumpers Jl, J2 and J3 allows for eight different jumper settings where the presence of a jumper is represented as "ON” and the absence of a jumper is represented by "OFF".
  • a typical jumper setting might be ON-OFF-OFF. This is highlighted by an arrow.
  • the five game possiblities already described each have numerical ranges for each selection of jumpers and game selector switch 18' settings. For example, consider the case where the jumper settings are ON-OFF-OFF and game selector switch 18' is set for a double digit game with five selections. The range (circled) is for each pair selected to range between 01 and 41. A possible outcome, then, would be: 03-15-41-18-01.
  • the invention 10, could, therefore be programmed so that each possible jumper setting represents one lottery market.
