Abstract
Security-enhanced documents and methods of forming security-enhanced documents having indicia under a Scratch-Off Coating (SOC), and more particularly including digitally imaging video frames onto the display area and/or back of the documents. In certain embodiments, portions of digitally imaged video frames are also utilized as game play variable indicia.
Claims20
Lottery tickets for a lottery game, the lottery tickets comprising:
- a first lottery ticket comprising:
- a first substrate comprising a first variable indicia portion and a first display portion;
- first thematically related variable indicia printed on the first variable indicia portion of the first substrate and comprising images from a first video frame of a video;
- a scratch-off coating over the first thematically related variable indicia;
- and
- a first thematically related video frame of the video printed on the first display portion, the first thematically video frame being one of a plurality of different video frames of the video;
- and
- a second lottery ticket comprising:
- a second substrate comprising a second variable indicia portion and a second display portion;
- second thematically related variable indicia printed on the second variable indicia portion of the second substrate and comprising images from a second video frame of the video;
- a scratch-off coating over the second thematically related variable indicia;
- and
- a second thematically related video frame of the video printed on the second display portion, the second thematically related video frame being one of the plurality of different video frames of the video;
- and
- the images of the second thematically related variable indicia being different than the images of the first thematically related variable indicia,
- the second thematically related video frame being different than the first thematically related video frame.

A method for printing an instant lottery ticket for a lottery game, the method comprising:
- accessing an external video;
- converting portions of the external video into separate digitized video frames;
- storing the video frames in a video frame database;
- receiving ancillary data associated with the external video;
- linking portions of the ancillary data to the separate digitized video frames;
- storing the linked ancillary data in a database;
- using an instant ticket game generator to create a set of paired inventory control and validation numbers for the lottery game;
- pseudo randomly assigning prize values to the set of inventory control and validation numbers for the lottery game;
- linking the separate digitized video frames and associated ancillary data to the set of paired inventory control and validation numbers;
- flattening each of the paired inventory control and validation numbers and separate digitized video frames and associated ancillary data into separate flattened images in a format that is compatible with an on-press Raster Image Processor (RIP);
- and
- using the on-press RIP and an imager to:
- print one of the separate flattened images onto a ticket substrate, and
- cover a portion of the ticket substrate with a scratch-off coating.
