Abstract
The invention relates to a method for generating a ticket to participate in a lottery draw. The ticket combination of elements is generated using an outcome of a computer-controlled interactive game, preferably a video game, played by at least one player. The elements of the ticket combination are selected among a list of predetermined elements, the predetermined elements corresponding to possible outcomes for the interactive game. The ticket combination may depend on the success of the player in the computer-controlled interactive game. Some of the participants may purchase a ticket bearing a ticket combination without using an outcome of the computer-controlled interactive game. Subsequently, the elements of a winning combination are randomly drawn among the list.
