Abstract
A lottery host, ticket generator, retailer terminal(s) and specially adapted draw-based lottery game tickets provide embodiments of a wagering event integrity control system, method and apparatus as disclosed. In various embodiments, purchased but unactivated tickets for a lottery drawing are activated based upon key codes associated with unsold tickets received by the lottery host at the end of a game. The lottery host and ticket generator can store different sets of information about the draw-based lottery game tickets, which can be pre-printed with game indicia and activated when desired by the player.
