Abstract

Claims20
A method for selecting by a player one of a plurality of game tickets for a random draw game having numbers for play during play of the random draw game which selects numbers randomly as winning numbers so that the player in possession of a ticket having numbers that match the winning numbers wins a prize, comprising the steps of:
- (a) selecting by a player one of at least two criteria options for at least one criteria for a game ticket for play in a random draw game, which criteria and selectable criteria options are displayed on a screen of a mobile computer device;
- (b) selecting by a player a pre-determined number of game tokens from a plurality of available game tokens displayed on the screen of the mobile computer device, which selected game tokens are associated with the game ticket for the player;
- (c) generating an encapsulated code representative of the criteria and game tokens selected by the player for the game ticket for play during the random draw game;
- (d) communicating a digital representation of the encapsulated code to a random draw game controller having a database of tickets authorized for play during the random draw game to authorize the game ticket selected by the player;
- and
- (e) verifying to the player the authorization of the game ticket selected by the player.
