Method and System for Enhancing Lottery Gaming Payout Perceptions with Coupons

Abstract

A method for enhancing ticket-based lottery games with coupons includes defining a coupon inventory of available coupons from third party sponsors. An initial coupon matrix is generated wherein a controlled number and value of coupons are assigned to a ticket-based lottery game or games. The coupon matrix is determined as a function of availability of particular coupons over a defined time period and specified third party sponsor redemption liability. Access codes are provide on lottery tickets generated for the ticket-based lottery game, wherein players are able to use the coupon access code to identify and redeem a coupon associated with the coupon access code from the coupon inventory.
