Abstract
A method and system for implementing a network-based lottery game includes providing lottery tickets to players, wherein each of the lottery tickets includes a code that allows the player to access an Internet site maintained by a server system for play of a lottery game via a network-enabled device. A game result file is randomly assigned to the player from a finite set of game result files maintained by the server system, wherein each game result file has a unique identifier and a predetermined game outcome. The predetermined game outcome is assigned to the player via the Internet-enabled device and, in the event of a winning game play, the unique identifier of the respective game result file is transmitted to the player for subsequent use in redeeming the game play.
