Abstract
A method is provided of managing awards to players in a lottery where players purchase lottery access tickets, each of which is assigned a predetermined prize in the lottery and each of which provides access to a selected one of a series of accessible video games on a computer medium. Each game has a plurality of game images in which the player can enter a selected action from a number of options based on different skill levels where the selected action can have a token value different from other options. The system displays a table to the player of an accumulation of the tokens and controls the accumulation of the tokens in order that the final prize matches the predetermined prize but may allow other awards to more skilled players. The prize must be validated using a code from the ticket and from an image in the displayed game.
