Abstract
A game play system and methods for facilitating game play purchases through a payment-enabled terminal store a plurality of records of game play number sets associated with respective payment card numbers. The association of game play number sets with respective payment card numbers allows for substantially “ticketless” lottery wagers, draws, scratch tickets, branded games, and second change games, access to game play purchases beyond the traditional manned lottery authority terminals, automatic redemption by associating a winning game play with a payment card number, and purchase of game plays using payment cards (e.g., debit or credit cards) instead of cash.
