the second potential user'"'"'s body, at least one part of the second potential user'"'"'s at least one limb, and the second potential user'"'"'s head;
determining, by the motion capture device, a first position of the first potential user and a second position of the second potential user;
comparing, by the motion capture device, the first position of the first potential user position to the second position of the second potential user to determine who is positioned closer to the lottery terminal; and
displaying, by the lottery terminal on the graphical user interface, at least one second image, wherein the at least one second image is a first ever personalized communication from the lottery terminal to the first potential user or the second potential user, and wherein a second content of the at least second image is personalized based, at least in part, on;
1) at least one first characteristic of the first potential user when the first potential user is positioned closer to the lottery terminal, wherein the at least one first characteristic of the first potential user is detected by the motion capture device, and wherein the at least one first characteristic of the first potential user is selected from the group consisting of;
gender, height, weight, position, age, facial feature, hairstyle, clothing, handicap, or any combination thereof, and2) at least one second characteristic of the second potential user when the second potential user is positioned closer to the lottery terminal, wherein the at least one second characteristic of the second potential user is detected by the motion capture device, and wherein the at least one second characteristic of the second potential user is selected from the group consisting of;
gender, height, weight, position, age, facial feature, hairstyle, clothing, handicap, or any combination thereof.

Abstract
A method including providing a lottery terminal that includes a graphical user interface and a motion capture device to facilitate a user to play in a lottery. The method further includes displaying, on the graphical user interface, a first image with content that includes drawing lottery tickets, instant lottery tickets, lottery games, dynamically-generated animations, and advertisements and detecting, by the motion capture device, a gesture of the user in a three dimensional space surrounding the lottery terminal. The method may further includes displaying, on the graphical user interface, a second image with content based, at least in part, on the gesture of the user; receiving, by the lottery terminal, a payment from the user for playing the lottery; and distributing, by the lottery terminal, a lottery ticket, based, at least in part, on the gesture of the user.
