Abstract
A method for conducting lotteries which combines instant games and on-line games by beginning with the purchase of a single instant game ticket by a player. The instant game is played and, win or lose, the instant game ticket is presented for verification. The transmission of the results of the verification directs payment as to winning tickets and directs continuing play of an on-line game for all tickets. The on-line game is played through the selection of numbers by the player or by random number selection and a on-line game ticket is printed for use in playing the on-line game.
