Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009105134A1] A process provides a first price category and a second price category in which a scratch-off lottery ticket can be purchased for a instant lottery game. The first price category is distinct from the second price category. The first price category corresponds to a first known portion of a linear prize associated with the instant lottery game. The second price category corresponds to a second known portion of the linear prize associated with the instant lottery game. The second known portion of the linear prize is more than the first known portion of the linear prize. The process selects a set of instant lottery game numbers. The process generates a single predetermined ordered assortment of the set of instant lottery game numbers in a instant lottery matrix of numbers. The process generates, for each of the plurality of instant lottery tickets, a subset of the instant lottery game numbers.
