A lottery sales method with a high probability of winning

Abstract

This invention provides a method for selling sets of 10 consecutive lottery tickets, where the last digit of each ticket is a combination with a two-digit gap between them. [Solution] When selling sets of 10 lottery tickets with consecutive numbers, many lotteries end if there are no winning tickets among the 10, including those where the numbers immediately before and after the winning number are also winning tickets. However, this sales method does not end there, as it leaves open the chance for people who would be happy to win at least one of the prizes immediately before or after the winning number, even if they don't win the first prize. This sales method increases the chances of winning, the probability, and the number of people who win by up to three times, and also allows for an increase in the number of tickets sold, making it a beneficial method for both buyers and sellers.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method of selling a set of 10 consecutive lottery tickets by selling the last digit of the lottery tickets in a combination that skips every other number. There are several types of lottery tickets with consecutive numbers, such as lottery tickets. This time, we will explain using the well-known lottery tickets for illustration.

Background Art

[0002] In the case of a sales method using a consecutive number method such as lottery tickets, to win only one of the front and back prizes, it is only possible to win the first prize with the first or last number of 10 consecutive numbers. Since this is a simple calculation, the probability is 20% (2 out of 10), which means that there is an 80% chance that the first prize and the front and back prizes are included in a set of 10 tickets. In this way, in most cases, the first prize and the front and back prizes are determined with just one set. However, if the front and back prizes are divided into two sets of tickets, the dream of winning, the probability, and the number of people can be maximally tripled, and furthermore, the number of tickets sold can be increased.

[0003] When selling 10 consecutive lottery tickets as a set, for example, from a set of 10 consecutive numbers from 123450 to 123459, select 4 tickets with the last digit of the lottery number on the lottery ticket skipping every other number as 0, 3, 6, 9 to form Bundle 1, and from another set of 10 consecutive numbers, select 3 tickets with 1, 4, 7 skipping every other number to form Bundle 2. Then, from yet another set of 10 consecutive numbers, select 3 tickets with 2, 5, 8 skipping every other number to form Bundle 3. Combine Bundle 1, Bundle 2, and Bundle 3 into a set of 10 tickets. Then sell multiple sets of such sets with numbers skipping every other number. By doing so, compared to the sales method of lottery tickets with consecutive number sales, the dream of winning, the probability, and the number of people can be maximally tripled.

[0004] If the winning probability is maximally tripled, naturally the number of tickets sold will increase. Thus, it becomes a sales method that benefits both the purchasers and the sellers.

[0005] For example, if you buy a set of 10 tickets consisting of bundles 1, 2, and 3, and the first prize is in bundle 2, you will only win the first prize, and up to two other buyers will win the adjacent prizes, effectively tripling the number of winners. Even if you don't win the first prize, you still have a chance of winning one of the adjacent prizes. In short, in this case, there is a high probability that one person will win the first prize and one person each will win the adjacent prizes, for a total of three winners, which is up to three times the number of winners compared to a lottery sold with consecutive numbers.

[0006] In short, this new method means that instead of winning both the first prize and the adjacent prizes, you only win the first prize, or either the adjacent prize or one of them. This increases the chances of winning, the probability of winning, and the number of winners. Consequently, the number of tickets sold will also increase.

[0008] [Patent Document 1] [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0009] In a lottery-like system of selling tickets in consecutive numbers, if you win the first prize, you are guaranteed to win one of the adjacent prizes, but if you don't win, that's the end of it. To increase the chances of winning and prevent it from ending there, by setting the last digit of the lottery number to skip two numbers, the prize becomes either the first prize only, or one of the adjacent prizes only, rather than the first prize and the adjacent prizes. This increases the dream of winning, the probability, and the number of people who can win. Furthermore, it also increases the number of tickets that can be sold. There are many people who would be happy to win at least one of the adjacent prizes, even if they don't win the first prize, and while some people might be disappointed if they win the first prize but not the adjacent prizes, no one would get angry. If you absolutely want the adjacent prizes as well, you can buy consecutive numbers as before. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] If tickets were sold in sets of consecutive numbers like a lottery, and there were no winning tickets among the purchased 10, the process would end there. Therefore, the last digit of the lottery number printed on the tickets is set to skip two numbers at a time. For example, from a set of 10 consecutive tickets numbered 123450~123459, four tickets with the last digits 0, 3, 6, and 9 are selected for bundle 1. Then, from another set of 10 consecutive tickets, four tickets with the last digits 1, 4, and 7 are selected for bundle 2. Furthermore, from yet another set of 10 consecutive tickets, three tickets with the last digits 2, 5, and 8 are selected for bundle 3. Combining these bundles 1, 2, and 3 results in a set of 10 tickets. In this way, instead of winning the first prize and the adjacent prizes, only the first prize or either the adjacent prize or one of them is awarded, increasing the dream, probability, and number of winners.

[0011] For example, if you buy a set of 10 consecutive numbered tickets from 123450 to 123459, and four of those tickets have the last digits 0, 3, 6, and 9, and the first prize is 123456, then you win the first prize. However, if you don't win the first prize, it's not over yet; there's still a chance to win one of the prizes immediately before or after the first prize. This way, buying 10 tickets gives you the same chance as buying 30 tickets, and increases your chances of winning the first prize or one of the prizes immediately before or after the first prize. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] This invention allows for the sale of sets of 10 consecutive numbered lottery tickets, where the last digit of the lottery number printed on the ticket is set in a combination of two numbers apart. This increases the chances of winning, the probability of winning, and the number of winners by up to three times, and consequently, an increase in the number of tickets sold. For example, from a set of 10 consecutive numbered tickets from 123450 to 123459, four tickets are selected with the last digits of the lottery number printed on them in a combination of 0, 3, 6, and 9, with two numbers apart, to form bundle 1. Three tickets are selected from another set of 10 consecutive numbered tickets in a combination of 1, 4, and 7, with two numbers apart, to form bundle 2. Then, three tickets are selected from yet another set of 10 consecutive numbered tickets in a combination of 2, 5, and 8, with two numbers apart, to form bundle 3. These bundles 1, 2, and 3 are combined to form a set of 10 tickets. By selling multiple such sets of consecutive numbered tickets with two numbers apart, the chances of winning, the probability of winning, and the number of winners can be increased by up to three times. Consequently, an increase in the number of tickets sold can be expected. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Claims

[Claim 1] When selling lottery tickets, such as those for the lottery, where multiple tickets have a multi-digit number printed on them in a sequence (hereinafter referred to as "sequential numbering"), in sets of 10, for example, by combining a set of 10 consecutive tickets from 123450 to 123459, selecting 4 tickets with the last digit of the lottery number (0, 3, 6, 9) with a 2-digit gap between them (set 1), a set of 10 consecutive tickets from another (set 2, 5, 8), and selling multiple sets of these two-digit skipped consecutive numbering sets can increase the chances of winning, the probability of winning, and the number of winners by up to three times compared to selling regular consecutive numbering. If the probability of winning is up to three times higher, the number of tickets sold will naturally increase. Thus, this is a sales method that benefits both the buyer and the seller. Also, the number of digits to skip can be determined according to the situation, rather than skipping by two.
