Abstract

See full text

A game method and related system provide a plurality of lottery tickets for players in the lottery game, with each lottery ticket having a grid of uniquely identifiable positions displayed thereon. The grid on each ticket is randomly populated with indicia from a field of indicia such that the grid positions contain at least one indicia and the entire field of indicia is randomly populated into each grid. A set of player indicia is indicted on each lottery ticket, which may be randomly generated or selected by the player. The positions in the grid are randomly and sequentially drawn, and the sequential order in which the positions were drawn is provided to the players. Prizes are determined for winning lottery tickets as a function of the number of the grid positions sequentially and randomly drawn prior to matching all of the player indicia on the respective lottery tickets.
