Under the control of the RAM 40 for storing various data generated during the program or transaction set by the user, the ROM 50 for storing the system operation program, and the central processing unit 10, A display unit 70 for displaying a variety of information related to a transaction is provided under the control of the printer 60 and the central processing unit 10 to issue documents.

On the other hand, Figure 2 is a key configuration diagram of the key input unit 20 that can be applied to the lucky sign issuance method of the cash register according to the present invention, in reality, the number (function) of the arrangement and the number of keys depending on the height and ease of use of the model It will be changed or added. As shown in Fig. 2, the key configuration of the key input unit 20 to which the present invention can be applied is a mode switch 21 used to designate a desired operation mode among various operation modes of the ECR, and the amount or correspondence of various items. Numeric keys (27) used to input the numeric code, etc., item keys (25) used to specify the desired item, and function keys (23) used to execute a desired function among various functions provided in the ECR. It may be divided into, and the 'luck ticket' key 23a to be described later may belong to the function key group 23.

In addition, the general operation modes of the ECR include a program mode, which is a mode used to change the program contents of various files and tables used in the ECR, and a registration mode that registers and processes various transaction information generated at the point of sale. There are modes, settlement mode and stop mode.

3 is a flowchart for explaining a process of creating a lucky ticket issuance table for executing the method of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 3, in order to prepare the lucky issue table, it is necessary to switch the operation mode of the ECR to the program mode. In step S10, it is determined whether the operation mode of the current ECR is the program mode. If it is determined in step S10 that the operation mode is not the program mode, the operation proceeds to step S11 to perform the function of the corresponding mode. If the operation mode is the program mode, the operation proceeds to step S12 and the lucky ticket table It is determined whether there is an input of the 'luck ticket' key 23a for writing. As a result of the determination in step S12, if the input key is not the 'lucky ticket' key 23a, the process proceeds to step S13 to perform a function of a corresponding program mode, and the input key is the 'lucky ticket' key 23a. In the case of proceeding to step (S14) and receives the issued luck issued in the luck issued table.
