At least a method and an apparatus are provided for efficiently generating non-redundant machine-generated quick pick lottery game entries. A computer file is created that includes every possible combination of number groups eligible for being selected for a particular lottery game. The every possible combination within the file is randomly shuffled to create a randomized list of non-redundant entries. A file index with a file index pointer is assigned to the randomized list of non-redundant entries. The file index pointer is set to an initial position in the randomized list of non-redundant entries. Each non-redundant machine-generated lottery game entry is generated by only sequentially incrementing or only sequentially decrementing the file index pointer in the randomized list, and outputting the each non-redundant entry indicated by the file index pointer to a ticket request device.

A system and method are provided for allowing a plurality of consumers to each select his or her own fixed odds and associated winning payoff from a common universal drawing. The consumer selected custom odds are derived by subdividing one drawing event into a series of variable sized 'bins' that reduce wagered odds to a subset of the greater odds of the universal drawing where the totality of generated bins thereby contains 100% of the possible drawing outcomes. A modulo operation is then performed to create a unique pointer position to a congruence number for each of the created previously created bins. Thus, any desired subset of reduced wagering odds can be achieved with the virtual creation of the corresponding number of bins.

A processor generates a first seed, wherein the first seed is a random number. The processor generates, a digital signature of the first seed. An interface communicates digital signature of the first seed to a first remote entity. The interface receives a digital signature of a second seed. After communicating the digital signature of the first seed to the first remote entity, the interface receives the second seed from the first remote entity. After receiving the digital signature of the second seed, the interface communicates the first seed to the first remote entity. The processor determines, using the digital signature of the second seed and the second seed, whether the second seed is valid. Upon a determination that the second seed is valid, the processor combines the first seed and the second seed to form a drawing seed. The processor generates a first draw result using the drawing seed and a drawing algorithm. The interface receives a second draw result from the first remote entity. The processor compares the first draw result and the second draw result. The processor communicates the draw results upon a determination that the first draw result and the second draw result are in agreement.
