The device operates as follows ..

Lottery rules are established, for example:

- the lottery is held in the form of separate raffles, united by uniform rules and a single type of tickets, and each drawing consists of several, for example, three separate games

- the first game is an instant lottery, when the player receives information about the winnings directly from the ticket after removing (erasing) a special protective layer in the first playing field at any time within the validity period of the tickets announced by the organizers

-the second game is a variant of the lottery game to wait for a match according to pre-agreed rules for the set of numbers (characters) deposited on one or more game cards located in the second playing field with a set of numbers (characters) formed randomly in the process of drawing, which

Yu

r-UL I J

Participation of a player in a specific drawing, except for the last one, is determined by voluntary registration of a ticket in the database of playing tickets, and when holding the last one in the drawing of the second game, all realized lottery tickets that have not passed voluntary registration in previous drawings of the current drawing are forcibly registered

- the third game is held once after the completion of the last draw of the second game and is the final game in which, according to the rule announced in the lottery ticket, is played, for example, the Jackpot for all registered tickets of the current circulation.

At the prepress stage, the sizes of the fields for placing credentials (ticket number, series number, labels, an individual identification code for the registration procedure in the second game) and the playing fields for each game are determined. These fields are unchanged in one run, but may vary in other runs.

At the first stage, the Operator, through the input and output information block 1, enters the necessary initial data (the number of win options for the 1st game, their number, nomenclature and specific cost, dimension of game cards for conducting the 2nd game and their number in the playing field, dimension of the array of numbers for holding the 2nd game, etc.). From the output of the input and output information block 1, the corresponding electrical signals through the interface 2 are fed to the inputs of the printing layout development block 3, the credential generation block 4, the calculator 5, g random number generator 6, a game data generation unit 7

the development of the printing layout 3 electronically develops the layout of the ticket, which provides fields for indicating the places, dates and times of each specific drawing of this lottery ticket draw,

broadcast methods, fields for applying an account number and an individual identification code, a game field containing the number of game cards (K) indicated in the source data by size.

Let for this example,, T.e. matrix is used.

In the development block printing layout 3 during the design development of the ticket layout is determined in accordance with the source data

location and specific size of the fields for applying all types of service and game information. The coordinates of the fields are fixed as a separate list. At the output of the development block of the printing layout 3, electrical signals corresponding to the image and lists are generated, which are fed to the input of the memory unit 8 through the interface 2 and fixed in different sections.

The credential generation unit 4 generates a J-bit numerical sequence of lottery ticket account numbers with all the necessary attributes (series number, letter indices, etc.). The value of J is determined by the circulation of printed tickets. The results of the operation of the block are drawn up in the form of a list and an electric signal is generated at its output, which is fed through the interface 2 to the input of the memory block 8 and recorded in the corresponding section.

The 1st input of the calculator 5 from the input unit 1 through the interface 2 serves electrical signals corresponding to the above initial data on the quantity, cost and nature

OOJ prizes scattered in the instant lottery. Suppose, for example, that the lottery organizers have decided to evenly distribute the number of winnings among all printed tickets. In this case, the calculator 5 determines, according to the criteria set by the lottery organizers, the number of prizes S (and / or their cash equivalent), which should be distributed in a specific block V of printed tickets. The result of the calculation is made out in the form of a list and at the output of the calculator 5 an electrical signal is generated, which is fed

at the input of the random number generator 6, and then at the output of the calculator 5, a request signal is generated to receive a specific block of V account numbers, which is fed through a two-way communication line through interface 2 to the input of memory block 8, the output of which forms an electrical signal corresponding to the requested the data array V, which is fed through the interface 2 to a random number generator 6. A random number generator 6 according to the random law set in advance by the lottery organizers, for example, uniform, from the received set of V accounting numbers fixes a given number S of random numbers. For example, for each specific thousand numbers of printed tickets specifically indicates S randomly assigned winning account numbers of lottery tickets and the type of winnings. The result is drawn up in the form of a list and at the output of the random number generator 6 they form an electrical signal, which is fed through the interface 2 to the input of the memory unit 8 and fixed in the corresponding section. The game data for the 2nd game is compiled in accordance with the source data (matrix size, print run, etc.). The signal from the output of the input and output information unit 1 through the interface 2 is fed to the first input of the game data generation unit 7, as which the 2nd random number generator can be used, in

which form forward sets of random numbers of length L from the predetermined array We (l, P) according to a predetermined random law, where

P is an arbitrary, predetermined number, for example, when working with a matrix, these are sets of 25 random numbers from an array of numbers W e (1,100). At the 2nd output of the game data generation unit 7

generate an electrical signal for each set, which is fed to the 2nd input of the 1st comparison unit 9, to the 1st input of which an electrical signal is recorded via the interface 2, recorded in the memory unit 8 in the game data section of the 2nd game. The comparison unit 9 checks the sets in the list of game data for repeatability.

If there is no coincidence of the analyzed set with the 8 data sets already recorded earlier in this memory section, a control signal is generated at the output of the comparison unit 9, by which it is included in the list, i.e. write the signal into memory and thereby modify the list of game data of the second game. Otherwise, that is, when the match of the analyzed set with the similar set already in the list is detected, a write inhibit signal is generated and the analyzed signal is destroyed. This procedure is carried out for all game sets that make up the list of game data of the 2nd game, recorded in the corresponding section of memory unit 8. The total amount of game data must correspond to the total circulation of tickets.

After the preparatory stages of the formation of credential and game data in various sections of the memory block 8 are completed, they are combined into a single electronic database of lottery tickets according to a predetermined law (regular or random), when each specific account number is uniquely associated with a specific game data set of the 1st and 2nd games, and then they calculate the individual identification code that is used in the procedure

01/2

registration of a ticket to participate in the drawing of the 2nd game. To do this, a code calculation algorithm is selected and electric signals corresponding to the elements of alphanumeric information of the lottery ticket selected from the memory unit 8 are fed to the input of the encoder 10. At the output of the encoder O, a signal corresponding to an individual identification code is generated, which is fed to the input via interface 2 a memory unit 8 and is recorded in an electronic database of lottery tickets.

After the formation of the electronic database of lottery tickets in the memory unit 8 is completed, the corresponding electrical signal is fed through the interface 2 to the control unit of the database of lottery tickets 11, in which the conditions for the formation of the playing field for the first game and the uniqueness of the data of the game cards of the second game are checked in accordance with the above conditions, individual identification codes, etc. If an error is detected, an adjustment is made until the data on these tickets are deleted and / or replaced. As a result, the reference database of lottery tickets for the circulation is formed in the memory unit 8 and the corresponding signal from its output is sent to the lottery ticket circulation unit 12 for production and quality control of printing products via the authorization signal from the information input unit 1 through interface 2; In the same block, the marriage is destroyed and the print run is additionally printed. All operations are documented, executed in the form of a list and the corresponding signal through the interface 2 is fed to the input of the memory unit 8, where it is recorded in the corresponding section. After completing this procedure, the prepared printed matter from the 2nd output of the lottery ticket circulation unit 12 is fed to the second input of the protective coating unit 13 to the game

instant lottery field and on the field of the individual identification code of the participant of the second game. The first input of the protective coating unit 13 via a two-way communication line through interface 2 receives a signal about the specific coordinates of these fields from the output of the development block for the printing layout 3. Finished products from the 2nd exit of the protective coating unit 13 re-enter for final control in the lottery ticket circulation unit 3, and then from its 2nd exit they go to sales terminals 14.1-14.R for sale to the public. From the outputs of sales terminals 14.1 -14.R the money goes to bank 15. At the output of bank 15, a signal is generated which, through the interface 2, is fed to the input of the prize pool calculation block 16, in which the prize fund of each lottery and the Lottery as a whole is determined.

After purchasing a ticket to participate in the first game, a player at any time during the validity period of the ticket announced by the lottery organizers removes the protective coating on the playing field of the first game on the lottery ticket, finds a printed text (message) about the absence or presence of a win.

To participate in the second game, the player removes the protective coating in the lottery ticket field, where an individual identification code is printed and, in accordance with the rules announced and printed on the ticket, informs the lottery organizer of it, for example, by telephone or INTERNET through the communication unit 17.1-17.G, having two-way communication with the registration unit of 18 participants of the lottery draw, which is connected via a two-way communication line through interface 2 to the timer 19 records the time of establishing a connection with the subscriber, compares with ennymi prior to receiving applications from participants allowed registration time slots for each of the

0l 5

pre-announced draws, checks if this ticket has not been registered earlier, sets the conditional numbers of the draws in which the player can participate and transmits this information through the telecom operator or automatically through the communication unit 17 .1-17.G to the player, who transfers directly to the operator lotteries or with the help of technical means, information about the chosen number of the lottery, Z1 number of tickets and an individual identification code. The corresponding electrical signal is received from the output of the communication unit 17 via the communication line to the registration unit 18, from the 2nd output of which it enters the 2nd input of the 2nd comparison unit 20, and a request signal is generated in the registration unit 18, which is sent on a two-way line Communication via interface 2 enters the memory unit 8 in its corresponding sections. At the output of the memory unit 8, a signal is generated about the presence (absence) of data specified by the player, which through the interface 2 is fed to the 1st input of the 2nd comparison unit 20. In the case of identical data, the output signal of the 2nd comparison unit 20 is generated, which is fed to The 3rd entrance of the registration block 18 and allows the registration of a ticket to participate in the drawing chosen by the player. From the 1st output of the registration unit 18, the control signal generated for this option is sent to the memory unit 8 and allows you to enter the corresponding information into it. If there is a discrepancy on the 2nd output of the 2nd comparison unit 20, additional information. If the conflict cannot be resolved as a result of the dialogue, the registration unit 18 switches the connection of the communication unit of the subscriber 17 to the input of the conflict resolution unit 21 (supervisor).

Registration of participants in the drawing ends with a signal that is generated in the registration unit 18 when the current time signal from the timer 19 coincides with the reference time set in

form of constants in the operator input of the initial conditions.

The drawing of the draw starts with the enable signal, which forms the registration unit 18 after the pre-set signal of the reference time (date and time) coincides with the current time signal, which is connected via interface 2 to the 1st random number generating unit 22, the inclusion of which is carried out only by command operator through the input unit 1 through interface 2.

After the first random number occurs, the 1st random number generating unit 22 is stopped and the corresponding electrical signal is simultaneously fed to the second inputs of the signaling unit 23 and the 3rd comparison unit 24, in which each of the found account numbers and their total number are fixed, t .е determine the winning ticket (s). The third comparison unit 24 with its first output through the interface 2 is connected to the section of the memory unit 8, where the credentials of lottery tickets registered for the current lottery are stored. The second output of the comparison unit 24 is connected to the second input of the signaling unit 23 to notify the participants of the rally about the detection of a match, and then a control signal is generated at the first output, which is fed through interface 2 to the first input of the random number generation unit 22 and its repeated turning on. The cycle is repeated until winning tickets (ticket) are found that match the first announced draw condition. The conditions of the drawing can be pre-set by the organizers of the lottery and printed on the ticket, or they can be determined during the game by means of a special drawing. In the latter case, the possible options for each round are announced and, according to the following law, form a set of conditions for the current drawing, which the operator then through the block input and output

information through the interface 2 feeds the input of the block setting the conditions of the game 25 which is connected with its 2nd output to the 3rd input of the comparison unit 24.

For example, for the selected game card () this may be the first match of five numbers located in any horizontal row (any or a specific vertical column, any or a specific horizontal row, etc.) of a game card with a set of random numbers received from the 1st block generating random numbers 22 during the first round of the draw. In the third block of comparison 24 winners of the 1st round are determined, a control signal is generated at its 1st output, which is fed through interface 2 to the 1st input of the game setting unit 25, in which, in accordance with the announced rules, the conditions are changed a draw of the 2nd round, for example, the first match of any nine numbers located in the form of a central cross (a diagonal cross or an inner square) with a generated set of random numbers.

The control signal is generated again, which allows the inclusion of the 1st block of random number generation 22. The generation cycle by condition is repeated until a winning ticket (tickets) is found by the condition of the 2nd round, etc. until all announced draw rounds are completed.

During the entire announced period of the draw, several draws are carried out, and the voluntary registration of players is carried out in all draws except the last one. According to the announced rules, all sold tickets that did not participate in previous raffles take part in the last raffle, and therefore, before the last second one, they automatically register all the account numbers of tickets sold that did not participate in previous raffles.

At the prepress stage of ticket preparation, the date and time of completion of the sale of lottery tickets are set, as well as the date and time of completion of acceptance of unrealized tickets from distributors. When the last date arrives, the lottery organizers, upon a signal from the timer 19 in the registration block 18, create a list of ticket numbers that were bought from the lottery organizers but were not registered to participate in any second draw of the second game held before the final draw of this draw. To do this, according to the request signal from the registration unit 18 through the interface 2, the electric signal corresponding to the database of tickets sold is first supplied from the memory unit 8 to the 1st input of the 2nd comparison unit 20 to the memory unit 8, and then, upon request, it is fed from the output block 8 memory signals corresponding to those sections of the memory block 8, which recorded the account numbers of tickets that were registered in all previous draws. If a match is found, the corresponding entry is deleted from the list of tickets sold. As a result, a list of tickets is generated for automatic registration of the participants of the last draw of the second draw game, which is written to memory unit 8 from the 1st output of the 2nd comparison block 20 through interface 2. the second game repeats the above.

The start of the last (third) game is also determined by the signal from the output of the timer 19 when it coincides with the pre-set during the operator input of the initial data into the system by the date and time of the beginning of the 3rd game.

In accordance with the rules announced on the ticket, the conditions for the game 25 set the conditions for the drawing (in our example, by the first match) of the lottery ticket’s children’s number with

a set of random numbers received from the 2nd random number generating unit 26), which can be used as an electronic random number generator or a bag with draws. According to the operator’s signal from the information input unit 1, the second random number generating unit 26 is turned on, which generates code combinations of signals corresponding to a sequence of integers from zero to nine, with a uniform distribution law, which are fed to the 4th input from its 2nd output 3rd comparison block 24. At the 1st input of the 3rd comparison block 24, the signals of the code combinations of the sold ticket numbers from the memory block 8 are fed through the interface.

Let, for example, a winning ticket be determined by a sequential (bitwise) comparison of the dropped code combination with the code combinations of the ticket numbers recorded in the reference database of tickets sold from the highest to the lowest. In the event that as a result of the drawing the signals do not find coincidence, then, depending on the established rules, the drawing can either be repeated or search, with the replacement of the code combination in one or several previously specified categories.

Using the claimed utility model will allow participating in one lottery ticket during its validity in three different games. The number of draws, the date and time of the game to wait for a match is set by the lottery organizers in advance, and the player is given the right to choose the date of the draw for his participation, by pre-registering in interim raffles and forced automatic registration in its last raffle. The participation of all tickets sold in the "instant lottery" and "Jackpot" with a large prize pool will increase the entertainment and attractiveness of the game.
