    Abstract: A method for conducting a lottery transparently and fairly while using a blockchain at a low cost by performing fewer transactions is provided. The method includes: obtaining lottery participation requests; generating a lottery pool; generating representative lottery pool information, and then transmitting the representative lottery pool information to a blockchain network; registering the transmitted representative lottery pool information or processed information thereof in the blockchain network; requesting a lottery smart contractor to generate a winning reference number and to register the winning reference number in the blockchain network; and determining a selected lottery participation request as a winner based on the winning reference number.

    Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to queuing and processing ticket objects associated with combinations of numbers to enforce a process of elimination for a ticket event. A ticket array for a ticket event may be generated. The ticket array may comprise a plurality of combinations of numbers consisting of combinations of unprocessed numbers and combinations of processed numbers. A ticket object associated with the ticket event may be received from a client computing device. The ticket object may comprise a combination of selected numbers that are added to a ticket queue. There may be a determination of whether the ticket object meets ticket criteria. In response to the ticket object meeting at least one of the ticket criteria, the ticket object may be processed. A notification may be generated after the ticket object has been processed. Furthermore, the notification may be sent to the client computing device.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a module (100) for dispensing tickets, comprising: a chassis (1) holding a plurality of cassettes (3) each comprising a housing for housing a book of tickets and a dispensing mechanism, and a movable robot (2) configured to be selectively coupled with one of the cassettes (3).
    The robot comprises: an actuator (21) for extracting a terminal portion of the book by actuating the dispensing mechanism of the cassette, and a reception device receiving this terminal portion.
    The reception device and the dispensing mechanism are jointly configured to align a separation line of the terminal portion of the book with a separating device, and/or to tension said terminal portion in order to allow the ticket to be separated by the separating device.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a ticket burster employ a dividing wall that is movable between different positions to facilitate dispensing tickets of different sizes, and a sensor that detects and communicates the position of the dividing wall to a controller. The controller communicates with feed motors to selectively operate feed drive rollers independently or in unison depending upon the detected position of the dividing wall.
