Claim:
A computer-implemented method of lottery wagering based on the outcome of fantasy sports events, comprising a computer performing the steps of: providing a set of variables, each variable capable of having a fixed value at a specified time, the fixed value of each variable representing an outcome of a fantasy sports event as of the specified time; receiving wagering data from a first lottery player, the wagering data comprising a first set of wagering numbers; associating the first set of wagering numbers with the first lottery player; for each variable in the set of variables: randomly assigning a lottery number from a set of lottery numbers to each variable in the set of variables so that each lottery number in the set of lottery numbers is randomly assigned to one of the variables in the set of variables, wherein each wagering number in the first set of wagering numbers corresponds to the lottery number selected by the first lottery player for each variable in the set of variables and so that the wagerers do not know which possible outcomes of the fantasy sports event are associated with the picked numbers when the numbers are picked; selecting a winning lottery number from the set of lottery numbers based on correlating the variable assigned to the winning lottery number with the fixed value of the fantasy sports event as of the specified time; determining a set of winning lottery numbers, the set of winning lottery numbers comprising the winning lottery number selected for each variable in the set of variables; and determining whether the first lottery player is a winning lottery player based on correlating the first set of wagering numbers with the set of winning lottery numbers.
