Patent ID: 11972410

Abstract:
There are provided systems and methods relating to reconciling lottery transactions. In one form, the system includes point-of-sale (POS) systems at retail store for inputting of first lottery transaction data for lottery transactions occurring at the retail stores in which the lottery transactions correspond to lottery games being operated by a third party. It includes a POS server for extracting the first lottery transaction data and a retailer server for receiving second lottery transaction data from a server of the third party. Further, it includes a control circuit that conducts one-to-one matching of entries of the two data sets, determines whether a discrepancy exists based on the one-to-one matching, conducts one-to-many matching by iteratively aggregating different combinations of entries of one data set and comparing them with individual entries of the other data set, and determines whether a discrepancy exists based on the one-to-many matching.
