Patent ID: 7631871

Claim:
A lottery game method, comprising the steps of: a game player selecting a wager amount for a game; providing a first set, second set and third set of pre-determined game objects, wherein each of the first set, second set, and third set of game objects are different and independent from the other two respective sets of game objects and not limited or defined by any action taken by the game player with respect to the other two sets of game objects; generating a first sequence of objects from the first set of objects; generating a second sequence of objects from the second set of objects; correlating the first and second sequences such that each game object in the first sequence is associated in an ordered pair with a respective game object in the second sequence of game objects as a function of the relative order of the objects in the first and second sequences of objects; mapping the ordered pairs of the first sequence of objects and the second sequence of objects to a randomly generated sequence of the third set of objects such that each ordered pair of objects identifies a respective object from the third set of game objects to define a final set of game objects; and awarding prizes based on the final set of game objects.
