Abstract
A system and method for implementing a lottery game that correlates a first and second sequence of indicia, such as by pairing each term in the first sequence with the term in the second sequence in the same relative position. The correlation is subsequently mapped to a third set of indicia by the game process. For example, the game process may be a Latin square for which each term in the first sequence is identified with a row and each term in the second sequence is identified with a column (or vice versa) and the entries of the square are elements of a third set. Prizes are determined based on the properties of the third set of indicia, such as the number of occurrences of a particular symbol. The entertainment value lies in the various correlating and mapping.
