Abstract:
1. A method of selling a lottery ticket comprising the steps of: prompting a user to install an application on a mobile device which is operable to receive lottery game selection information from the user associated with a ticket order; generating a code image associated with a lottery server that the ticket order is being placed in response to selections made on the mobile device by the user, the code image representative of the lottery game selection information; receiving a code represented by the code image after the code image on the mobile device is scanned by a lottery retailer; decoding the code image by the lottery server so that the mobile device and/or a lottery retail system is incapable of decoding the code image; returning, by the lottery server, information associated with the ticket order after decoding the code image; receiving a confirmation of sale indicating that the lottery ticket has been sold to the user consistent with the lottery game selection information; and communicating the sale of the lottery ticket to a lottery authority.
