Abstract
A system allows consumers to participate in draw games through the use of a personal, portable, secure, device (portable microprocessor) that accepts and stores wagers selected by a consumer, generates wagers on behalf of the consumer, and maintains secure virtual tickets for the consumer that can be authenticated and accepted by a gaming authority. The portable microprocessor interacts with either a user's mobile device or with a game terminal, which, in turn, communicates with a game server.
