Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0871132A1] The proposed method of playing a lottery game or sporting totalisator involves the following: each participant (3) in, for example, the lottery uses a storage unit (4) with a timing system (25), memory unit (23) and data input-output device (27, 29); time data, which is forwarded from the timing system (25) at the moment the hypothetical data issued by the participant (3) using the data input device (27) is stored (51) in the internal memory unit (23), is stored (52) in the latter; for the purpose of comparison with actual data, use is made only of that part of the hypothetical data which is issued via the output device (29) from the memory unit (4) and originally input into its internal memory unit (23) before the moment the actual data appeared. A method of this type can be realised with the aid of the above memory unit (4) and a data collection centre (9) containing means for outputting data from the internal memory (23) of the storage devices (4). In addition, the timing system (25) is designed in such a way that for any time interval, the difference between the time value accumulated by this unit during interval and its actual duration is positive. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
