Abstract
A player selects whether the numerical total of the numbers selected during a lottery game will be high or low, or either high or low. When the winning lottery numbers are selected, they are also totaled and a numerical sum of the selected lottery numbers is determined. The numerical total is designated as “high”, “low” or “middle” based on pre-established criteria and winning high/low selections are paid. A separate wager may be required for the player to be eligible for this high/low feature of the lottery game.

A method of playing a lottery game in which a player purchases a lottery ticket to play a conventional lottery game and to play a “high/low” feature in conjunction with the conventional lottery game, comprising:
- a) designating a first group of numerical totals as “high” number totals, designating a second group of numerical totals as “low” number totals and designating a third group of numerical totals as “middle” number totals;
- b) the player selecting a predetermined amount of numbers as the player's lottery numbers;
- c) the player also selecting either the “high” number totals, the “low” number totals or both the “high” and “low” number totals;
- d) randomly selecting a predetermined amount of winning numbers from a pool of numbers;
- e) determining the amount of matches between the player's numbers and the winning numbers and providing the player with an award if the player achieves at least a minimum amount of matches;
- f) adding up the numerical values of the winning numbers to determine a numerical total;
- g) determining whether the numerical total of the winning numbers is a “high” number total, a “low” number total or a “middle” number total;
- and
- h) if the numerical total is a “high” number total and the player has selected either the “high” number totals or both the “high” and “low” number totals, providing the player with an award;
- or if the numerical total is a “low” number total and the player has selected either the “low” number totals or both the “high” and “low” number totals, providing the player with an award;
