Data processing system
First Claim
1. A data processing system [having] comprising:
- a first subsystem [(frontend, 1)] which can be accessed externally via the Internet and [having]a second subsystem [(backend, 2) which is] connected to the first subsystem [(frontend, 1)] by [means of] a logic device preventing unauthorized access, [and is otherwise locked, where] the second subsystem [(backend, 2) features;
] including a random number generator, memory devices [(9, 10, 11)] for data associated with [game] a plurality of players in a lottery, the data including lottery numbers associated with the players and a win plan, a computer [(9, 10)] for attributing wins, on the basis of the numbers generated in the random number generator, to [game] players having lottery numbers which correspond to the numbers, and an e-mail facility for automatically notifying the winners and a timer which, at regular intervals of time[, particularly once daily,] initiates the generation of final digits and the attribution of wins[(draw),];
[where] wherein the first subsystem [(frontend, 1) contains] includes a computer [(6, 7)] for data interchange with the [game] players and for notifying the winners.

Abstract
The invention relates to a data processing system comprising a first subsystem (frontend) which can be externally accessed, and a second subsystem (rearend) which is connected to the first subsystem by a logical device which prevents unauthorized access, by means of operation in a security center. The second subsystem is otherwise locked. The second subsystem includes a random number generator, memory devices for data of participants in a lottery, including lottery numbers associated with the players, a winnings plan, and a computer for allocating the winnings to the participants having the ticket numbers corresponding to the numbers produced by the random number generator. The first subsystem also includes a computer for exchanging data with the participants and for informing the winners.
