Abstract

A reversed lottery system (RLS) (100) for conducting a lottery game; the RLS comprising: (a) a betting input terminal (BIT) (110) configured for carrying out at least one selling event of at least one lottery ticket to at least one customer; (b) a jackpot module (JM) (120) having a specific value; (c) at least one processor (130) in communication with a computer readable medium (CRM); the processor executes a set of operations received from said CRM; the set of operations are: (i) communicating with the BIT and the JM; (ii) randomly generating a winning set (WS) (140) of numbers and at least one ticket set (TS) (150) of numbers; the TS is generated upon receiving communication regarding at least one selling event; (iii) matching between the WS and the TS and producing a matching score to the match; the TS is a winning TS (WTS) (150A) if the matching score is above a specific threshold; and, (iv) distributing at least part of the specific value of the JM if the TS is the WTS to the customer; wherein the processor is configured to generate the WS prior to at least one selling event and the generation of said TS.

Claims

1. A reversed lottery system (RLS) (100) for conducting a lottery game;

said RLS comprising;

a. a betting input terminal (BIT) (110) configured for carrying out at least one selling event of at least one lottery ticket to at least one customer;

b. a jackpot module (JM) (120) having a specific value;

c. at least one processor (130) in communication with a computer readable medium (CRM);

said processor executes a set of operations received from said CRM;

said set of operations are;

i. communicating with said BIT and said JM;

ii. randomly generating a winning set (WS) (140) of numbers and at least one ticket set (TS) (150) of numbers;

said TS is generated upon receiving communication regarding said at least one selling event;

iii. matching between said WS and said TS and producing a matching score to said match;

said TS is a winning TS (WTS) (150A) if said matching score is above a specific threshold; and

,

iv. distributing at least part of said specific value of said JM if said TS is said WTS to said customer;

wherein said processor is configured to generate said WS prior to said at least one selling event and the generation of said TS.

2. The RLS of claim 1, wherein JM is a progressive jackpot module (JPM);

said specific value of said JPM increases by a predetermined amount in response to said selling event.

3. The RLS of claim 1, wherein said specific value of said JM is determined at the beginning of said lottery game.

4. The RLS of claim 1, wherein said at least one customer comprises the customer who purchased an LT at a specific time point to which said WTS was ascribed and any other customer to which an additional LT ascribed to said WTS was sold in a specific timeframe from said time point;

said specific timeframe is between about 0.5 seconds to about 3 seconds.

5. The RLS of claim 1, wherein a larger part of said value of said JM is distributed when said matching score is higher.

6. The RLS of claim 1, wherein said WTS receives the highest matching score when it matches exactly said WS;

said exact match is identical number in identical order of said WS to said WTS.

7. The RLS of claim 1, wherein said LT ascribed said WTS having said highest matching score receives the highest part of said JM value.

8. The RLS of claim 7, wherein said highest part of said JM value is distributed said lottery game ends.

9. The RLS of claim 1, wherein said processor comprises:

a random number generator, a number database, a WS memory, an encryptor, a matching module, and any combination thereof.

10. A gaming processor for conducting a reversed lottery game;

said gaming processor is in communication with a computer readable medium (CRM);

said processor executes a set of operations received from said CRM;

said set of operations are characterized by;

a. randomly generating a winning set (WS) of numbers;

b. receiving input from at least one betting input terminal (BIT) regarding the purchase of at least one lottery ticket (LT);

c. ascribing said LT a ticket set (TS) of randomly selected numbers;

d. matching between said WS and said TS and producing a matching score to said match;

said TS is a winning TS (WTS) if said matching score is above a specific threshold; and

,

e. transferring output to a jackpot module (JM) regarding said matching score.

11. The RLS of claim 10, wherein said JM is an accumulating jackpot.

12. A method for conducting a lottery game by a reversed lottery system (RLS), characterized by steps of:

a. obtaining an RLS comprising, a betting input terminal (BIT), a jackpot module (JM) and a gaming processor;

b. randomly generating a winning set (WS) of numbers by said processor;

c. purchasing at least one lottery ticket (LT) through said BIT;

d. notifying said gaming processor regarding said LT purchase through said BIT;

e. generating a ticket set (TS) of random numbers by said processor;

f. matching between said WS and said TS and producing a matching score;

said TS is a winning TS (WTS) if said matching score is above a specific threshold; and

,

g. at least partially distributing the value of said JM if said TS is said WTS.

13. The method of claim 12, additionally comprising a step of selecting said JM to be a progressive jackpot module;

JM is a progressive jackpot module (PJM);

said value of said PJM increases by a predetermined amount in response to said selling event.

14. The method of claim 12, additionally comprising a step of determining said value of said JM at the beginning of said lottery game.

15. The method of claim 12, additionally comprising a step of distributing a larger amount of said value of said JM when said matching score is higher.

16. The method of claim 12, additionally comprising a step of giving the highest matching score to a full match between said WS and said WTS;

said full match is identical number in identical order of said WS to said WTS.

17. The method of claim 12, additionally comprising a step of distributing the highest part of said PJM value if said WTS receives said highest score.

18. The method of claim 17, additionally comprising a step of ending said lottery game if said highest part of said PJM value is distributed.

19. The method of claim 12, additionally comprising a step of selecting said at least one customer to be the customer who purchased an LT at a specific time point to which said WTS was ascribed and any other customer to which an additional LT ascribed to said WTS was sold in a specific timeframe from said time point;

said specific timeframe is in the range of about 0.5 seconds to about 3 seconds.

20. The method of claim 12, additionally comprising a step of selecting at least one item to comprise said processor from a group consisting of:

a random number generator, a number database, a WS memory, an encryptor, a matching module, and any combination thereof.
