These tickets were generally sold in ascending numerical order and after a certain period of time a winning number of one of the tickets sold were selected and the prize was awarded to the holder of the ticket bearing the winning number.
- Instant winning games were introduced in 1974 which generally included some kind of scratch-off game where a number or a certain number of items were matched according to a predetermined winning scheme.

- It is also an object of the invention to integrate all pick your own number type games into picking U.S. national holidays, months of the year, days of the month, U.S. Presidents U.S. states, U.S. state capital cities as elements.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide a new lottery and video terminal game which will operate on existing on-line equipment.
