Claim 17:
18. An apparatus for generating non-redundant machine-generated quick pick lottery game entries, comprising:
at least a memory;
a hardware based true random number generator;
one or more processors configured to:
create a computer file that includes every possible combination of number groups eligible for being selected for a particular lottery game;
randomly shuffle, based on a random number generated by the hardware based true random number generator, the every possible combination within the computer file to create a randomized list of non-redundant entries;
assign a computer file index with a computer file index pointer to the randomized list of non-redundant entries;
set the computer file index pointer to an initial position in the randomized list of non-redundant entries;
generate each non-redundant machine-generated lottery game entry by only sequentially incrementing or only sequentially decrementing the computer file index pointer in the randomized list; and
output the each non-redundant entry indicated by the computer file index pointer.
