Abstract
A lottery game is linked to a televised game show having a plurality of mini-games followed by a final bonus game. An audience is defined for the game show composed of members from a plurality of different lottery jurisdictions, and audience members are selected for play of a plurality of mini-games conducted during taping of the game show. A plurality of substitute mini-games are separately conducted and taped such that at least one substitute mini-game having a winner from each lottery jurisdiction is taped and stored. One or more winners of the actual mini-games are selected for play of the final bonus. The original version of the taped game show is prepared for broadcast to all of the lottery jurisdictions. The broadcast intended for transmission to any lottery jurisdiction that does not have a winner of an actual mini-game in the original taped version is modified by inserting into the broadcast one of the substitute mini-games having a winner from the respective lottery jurisdiction.
