Abstract
Apparatus for playing game by a plurality of players includes a set of instant win tickets and a programmed computer system creating a web site associated with the tickets to be accessed by the players. The system provides an app to be downloaded providing access to the site by the remote terminal of those players having the app. A computer controlled validation data base contains the status of each of the set of tickets and the system provides communication with the validation data base. The players can use their terminals to enter information relating to the playing of the game which is communicated to the remote terminals of one or more of others of the players.
