Abstract

For a premium wager, a raffle game is added to a lottery game play. All players of the base game (who purchased the add-on game or not) who achieve a pre-determined outcome receive a raffle game play which is entered into a raffle drawing at no additional cost. The raffle drawing is held, and the winning raffle outcome is identified. Winning raffle ticket recipients submit their tickets to the lottery authority for their prize. A determination is made if the add-on game was purchased with the base game play associated to the winning raffle ticket. If the add-on game was purchased with the base game play, the player receives the raffle prize. If the add-on game was not purchased with the base game play associated to the winning raffle ticket the player receives a free QP lottery ticket in lieu of receiving the raffle prize and the unpaid raffle prize (or a percentage thereof) rolls over to a subsequent raffle drawing. Improvements to a base lottery game are presented which offer players enhanced odds of a winning outcome and qualification to participate in the add-on raffle game of the present invention. The raffle pari-mutuel prize pool consists of a percentage of raffle game sales over a drawing period plus unpaid prize money carried forward from previous draws. In one embodiment, 50% of the pari-mutual prize pool plus any unpaid fixed prize monies carried forward from previous draws is allocated to a fixed prize pool in a drawing period. The fixed prize pool is allocated to a number of different fixed prize units, defined by a method herein. In one embodiment, a pari-mutual grand prize payout does not influence unpaid fixed prize monies carried forward to subsequent drawings and a fixed prize payout does not influence unpaid pari-mutuel grand prize monies carried forward to subsequent drawings, which provides a host with a consistent offering of prizes, drawing period after drawing period; building 'prize momentum' regardless of poor weekly game play sales after a grand prize payout. Lastly, an express means for facilitating the lottery game plays of the present invention in an electronic lottery game network is taught. The use of a dispensing terminal interface, which when combined with the methods herein provides quicker transaction periods and assists players in express 'impulse game-play' transactions when strategically positioned.
