Abstract
Disclosed is a remote lottery ticket purchasing or gaming event bet placement system using E-911 compliant cell phones. E-911 compliant cell phones provide the location of the caller, enabling the system of the present invention to determine in which jurisdiction the caller is located. The system further uses at least one identifier that the caller must provide, allowing an age check to be made. The use of both pieces of information, location and age, is used by the system to remotely purchase lottery tickets or make bets in full legal accordance with what is allowed in the caller's jurisdiction.
