Abstract

See full text

A computer-implemented method implements a loyalty program across multiple lottery jurisdictions, wherein each jurisdiction issues lottery tickets with one or more barcode formats. A database is created that includes a library of the different lottery ticket barcode formats issued by each lottery jurisdiction, and is updated at defined time intervals with the current barcode formats used in the different jurisdictions. For entry into the loyalty program, an interface allows consumers from the various lottery jurisdictions to scan a barcode from a lottery ticket purchased in one of the lottery jurisdictions and transmit the scanned barcode image to a processor. The processor compares format of the scanned barcode in the transmitted image to a library of barcode formats. The processor credits an account in the loyalty program assigned to the consumer with credit for the scanned lottery ticket only if the format of the scanned barcode matches one of the barcode formats saved in the database.
