US Patent:
20030204288, Oct 30, 2003
Filed:
Apr 29, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/133652
Inventors:
Lyle Scrymgeour - Dugald, CA
Douglas Pollard - Winnipeg, CA
Jack Hargrave - Council Bluffs IA, US
Terry Poffenbarger - Council Bluffs IA, US

Martin Johnson - Council Bluffs IA, US

International Classification:
G06F017/00
US Classification:
700/236000
Abstract:
The input of information into the control unit of a lottery ticket dispensing machine, for filling of dispensing containers of the machine with different game tickets, defining a game number for a game provided on the tickets, a price of the ticket, a total number of the tickets making up the quantity of tickets and a length of the tickets from a leading edge of each ticket to a trailing edge thereof is simplified so as to avoid requiring the service person to enter the information on a key pad as numerical values. This is effected by providing the information in machine readable form on the tickets themselves or on a game set up card associated with the tickets so that the information can be scanned into the control unit by a reader. Alternatively, the information can be provided in a simplified coded form for simple input by the service person into a key pad of the control unit. In a further alternative the control unit is arranged to communicate with a central data source which provides the information from the game number manually input by the service person.
