Abstract

See full text

In a system for performing both lottery ticket transactions and merchandise sales transactions and maintaining a record of both, a group of lottery terminals are coupled to a lottery central processing center. A POS (point of sale) terminal and a bar code scanner are coupled to each lottery terminal. The lottery terminal can pass through information from the bar code scanner to the POS terminal through a scanner interface of the POS terminal using a predetermined scanner data format and can also transmit lottery ticket information to the POS terminal using a similar data format. A group of POS terminals are coupled to an in-store processor to enable both lottery and merchandise data to be recognized and recorded.
