[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Lotteries are sold by local governments, and sales and refunds are based on the “Voucher with Winning Law” (enforced in 1948).
It is determined by. Local governments have entrusted administrative procedures to banks with the permission of the Minister of Home Affairs. The bank that accepts the affairs will select the pattern of the lottery ticket, print it, deliver it to the sales floor, publicize and publicize it, sell it, draw lots, announce the winning number, and pay the prize money (extracted from the mechanism of the Daiichi Kangyo Bank Lottery Release) . This method was enacted in 1948, and lotteries are still sold and refunded using this method.

[0003] Conventionally, when purchasing a lottery ticket, it is possible to go to a lottery counter in a downtown area or the like, spend a considerable amount of time, and purchase the lottery ticket.

[0004] In this method, the selling side needs to maintain and manage a large amount of cash and a lot of lottery tickets, and it can be said that this method is an unavoidable security method.

As a means for solving this problem, an automatic cash transaction apparatus (AT) has been disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 9-231439.
M) has a lottery ticket issuing function as an additional function. However, this is a vending machine, so to speak, it simply puts lottery tickets on ATMs and sells them.

In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-282152,
A "lottery device" has been devised. This is a voting terminal for public sports (horse racing, bicycle races, etc.). It is necessary to register the buyer in advance, so it is not convenient for unspecified buyers, and anyone can purchase it. Application to lottery is impossible.

That is, in the past, there has been no system in which a lottery ticket can be easily purchased anytime and anywhere, and there is no problem in security.

[0008] In addition, when checking whether a purchased lottery has been won or not, it has been necessary to go to a lottery sales office and use an automatic checker or the like. When at home, it was possible to look up the winning numbers on newspapers, Internet homepages, and telephones.

At this time, if the winning money is not relatively high at the time of winning, it is necessary to go to the lottery sales office and receive it. In the case of high prize money, it was necessary to go to the designated bank and receive the prize money.

[0010]

However, in the case of the above-described prior art, the following problems have occurred.

(1) When a lottery ticket is purchased at a lottery store located in a downtown area or the like, since the release time is generally limited from about 9 am to 6 pm, the working time of ordinary workers is almost Matches. For this reason, both buyers and sellers lose opportunities.

(2) Sales at lottery sales offices include surplus lotteries such as labor costs for sellers, delivery costs for lotteries to sales offices, rent payments for land and buildings at security offices, security measures for crime prevention, and unsold goods. Printing costs are required.

(3) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-2 which has been devised in the past
Since 31439 is a mere vending machine for lottery tickets, the effect of reducing the lottery delivery cost and surplus lottery printing cost cannot be expected.

(4) When checking the winning of the purchased lottery, it is efficient to go to the lottery sales office and check with the automatic checker. However, for the same reason as in the above (1), the buyer feels convenience. Can not. When collating with newspapers, internet homepages, telephones, etc., when examining a large number of lotteries individually, it takes an enormous amount of time and is also apt to make mistakes.

[0015] (5) When the lottery is won, if the winning is not relatively large, the lottery sales office, and if the winning is large, go to the designated bank for the same reason as in (1). Can not feel the convenience for the person.
In particular, business hours are generally around 9 am
From 3:00 to 3:00 pm, ordinary workers need to spend their working hours to go to the bank. It is also possible that there are no designated banks in the neighborhood.
