Abstract
The value of winning tickets dispensed by a vending machine to patrons who purchased the winning tickets are awarded using selection buttons on the vending machine that provide a first option to immediately redeem the value of a winning ticket at the vending machine, and a second option to defer immediate redemption of the value of a winning ticket. The tickets are preprinted with game content and are associated with a deal of tickets that includes at least some predetermined winning tickets.
