  • at a lottery terminal, receiving a player'"'"'s wager and selection of characters from a defined field of the characters for a play in a lottery terminal-based game;

    randomly generating a set of characters from the defined field of characters, and comparing the player'"'"'s selected characters to the randomly generated set, and determining if the player is a winner as a function of a number of matches between the player'"'"'s selected characters and the randomly generated set;

    displaying the results of the terminal-based game to the player at the lottery terminal, including any base prize award to the player in the terminal-based game;

    providing indication to the player as to whether their play in the terminal-based game qualifies for entry into a subsequent interactive-based game, and providing to the player information to access the interactive-based game; and

    subsequently interactively interfacing with the player for play of the interactive-based game, wherein the player'"'"'s participation and potential prize award in the interactive-based game is dictated by the results of the terminal-based game such that an amount of player participation by the player in the interactive-based game is determined by the results of the terminal-based game, wherein the player qualifies for entry into the interactive-based game based on a minimum number of matches in the terminal-based game, wherein the number of matches in the terminal-based game dictates the number of plays in the interactive-based game.
