When the inner and outer LED display lamps match, a voice announces ``Win: Congratulations, please take your winning ticket'' and a winning ticket with the date, time, and opening machine number is printed out. If the LED indicator lamps do not match, it will be a mistake.
"Please come again".The second lottery method is connected to the ball lending machine C, and the lottery is linked to the sales amount. Lottery is impossible unless there is an input from machine C. Lottery is started by switching key switch 1 to lottery 2 and pressing "1" on numeric keypad 2. In this case, the lottery will only be accepted a set number of times, but for example, if you win the lottery twice and win the first time, it will end there, but if you lose, you will be notified with a voice saying "Please try the lottery again" and try the lottery again. Accept. The third lottery method is a normal lottery performed by key-inputting the number of lottery machines and the number of lottery participants, and the key switch 1 is started by pressing "1" on the numeric keypad 2 in the lottery 1 mode. In this case, the winning ticket does not have the opening machine number printed on it, so it is necessary to write it in. Furthermore, as a fourth feature, it is also possible to perform this ordinary lottery in the lottery 2 mode, and the lottery device becomes active only when an input from the ball lending machine corresponding to the sales amount set in the setting mode is received. In any of the above-described lotteries, when the lottery of all the open machines is completed, a voice notification saying "Lottery end: The lottery has now ended" is announced. Furthermore, when the ball rental machine C is sold, the user says, "Thank you for your continued support."

When printing a daily total on an open table (quantitative table), key switch 1 sets the print mode to press function key 3's "Complete table" to set month/day 13, printing time/minute 14, and print time on the open table. No.1
5, the time and minute of completion 16, completion unit number 17, number of completions 18 and symbols are printed out in total. The symbol after the number of times of printing is 19 when it is released and 20 when it is not released, and (x) and (*) marks are printed respectively. Figure 5 shows the winning ticket when inputting the number of lottery machines, Figure 6 shows the winning ticket when inputting the number of lottery machines, and Figure 7 shows the winning ticket when inputting the number of lottery machines.
