Abstract
One embodiment of the invention provides apparatus comprising an input for receiving a lottery number, K, from a lottery draw or other source of unpredictable numbers, and an output for presenting a graphical selector comprising N options. The graphical selector steps in sequence through said N options in accordance with the received lottery number K to select an option. The output can be incorporated into a broadcast television signal as part of a lottery program, and used to drive other material in the program, as well as providing an application for other platforms, such as mobile telephones and the Internet.
Claims25
Apparatus comprising:
- an input for receiving a non-predictable input number, K, wherein said non-predictable number K comprises a lottery number;
- and
- an output for presenting a graphical selector comprising N options, wherein said graphical selector is configured to step in sequence through said N options in accordance with the received number K to select one of said N options, thereby transforming the non-predictable input number K into a selection of an output option.
A method of generating a computerised graphic comprising:
- receiving a non-predictable number, K, wherein said non-predictable number K comprises a lottery number;
- and
- outputting a graphical selector comprising N options, wherein said graphical selector steps in sequence through said N options in accordance with the received number K to select one of said N options, thereby transforming the non-predictable input number K into a selection of an output option.
A computer program product comprising machine instructions that when loaded into one or more machines implement a method of generating a computerised graphic comprising:
- receiving a non-predictable number, K, wherein said non-predictable number K comprises a lottery number;
- and
- presenting a graphical selector comprising N options, wherein said graphical selector steps in sequence through said N options in accordance with the received number K to select one of said N options, thereby transforming the non-predictable input number K into a selection of an output option.
A method of running a secondary lottery game comprising:
- receiving a succession of non-predictable numbers K as the result of a lottery draw;
- and
- transforming the succession of non-predictable numbers K into a corresponding sequence of output options using a graphical selector, wherein said graphical selector comprises N options, and said graphical selector steps in sequence through said N options in accordance with each received number K to select one of said N options for output;
- wherein the result of said secondary lottery game is determined by said sequence of output options.
