A lottery number selection device is set forth wherein a transparent case slidingly accepts planar insert therewithin. The insert is provided with a plurality of upstanding flexible tips at a distal end thereof adjacent an outwardly extending stem portion. A plurality of inserts is contemplated in corresponding to a like number of States utilizing a lottery for income gathering purposes. Each State insert includes a number of hemispherical recesses corresponding to the number of single and multi digit potential numbers utilized in a lottery number. A number of spherical balls corresponding to the number of single and multi-digit numbers selected in a lottery number selection procedure. The number of balls may be deleted or added from interiorly of the case to correspond to the numbers to be selected.

1. Field of the Invention
The field of invention relates to lottery games, and more particularly pertains to a new and improved lottery number selection device wherein an individual may randomly utilize a game board to select a series of single and two digit numbers of a group utilized in lottery games.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is an isometric illustration of the instant invention.
FIG. 2 is an orthographic view taken in elevation of the instant invention.
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 to 6 thereof, a new and improved lottery number selection device embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
More specifically, it will be noted that the lottery number selection device 10 essentially comprises a transparent housing 11 formed with a planar top service 11a and a downwardly depending continuous side wall 11b. The housing is open at the bottom and includes a first trio of tabs 12 on the side of the housing projecting generally orthogonally to the side wall 11b and parallel to the top 11a. Similarly, the left side of the housing includes a trio of second tabs 13 with a plurality of forward third tabs 14 positioned forwardly and medially between the first and second tabs 12 and 13 respectively. The tabs are spaced below the side wall a distance equal to the thickness of a planar insert 15. The planar insert 15 upon positionment within the slot formed by the spacing of the various tabs 12, 13, and 14 below the side wall 11b totally encloses the housing 11. The planar insert 15 is also of a complementary configuration to that defined by the perimeter of the side walls 11b.
Positioned orthogonally extending outwardly of the insert 15 is a stem 17 for manual grasping and positioning of the insert interiorly and exteriorly of the housing 11. A plurality of upwardly projecting flexible tips 16 are positioned on either side of the handle 17 and adjacent the forward extent of handle 17 whereupon positioning of the planar insert 15 within the housing 11, the flexible tip 16 will be forced into engagement within an interior surface of a rear side wall portion of the side wall 11a, as illustrated in FIG. 3 for example. The flexible tips 16 are formed with an arcuate forward surface 19 for ease of entry past a lower terminal end of the side wall 11a wherein the flexible tips 16 are provided with a rear facing planar surface 18 for engagement with the interior surface of the wall 11a, as noted.
