Problems solved by technology

This format however, creates a risk to the organizer since if insufficient tickets are sold, not enough money will be raised to pay the cash or goods prize.
However, there are so many numbers to select from that the chance of winning (or having multiple winners) is extremely low.
Regardless, even if the winners have to split the prize money, due to the low odds (and usually low purchase price) millions of players purchase these tickets and these types of lotteries generate millions and often tens or hundreds of millions of dollars for a single winner.
There is also no method for manufacturing a scratch off lottery ticket with multiple game play areas on a single lottery ticket card that incorporates the game play for each of the multiple game play areas as well as incorporating a game play for at least two of the game play areas for winning possibilities.
