Electronic Lottery System for Complex Bet Combinations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic lottery systems lack the ability to allow players to select complex combinations of defined bets, limiting player engagement and revenue generation.
Innovation Solution
An electronic lottery system with a draw unit and a pick unit, where players can define complex combinations of values for betting, using a registration application and a pick application that generate random sequences of values, allowing for various betting options based on rows, columns, and combinations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional lottery systems use fixed betting options, then the system structure remains simple, but player engagement and revenue generation are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The betting system is segmented into multiple independent betting types (row bets, column bets, diagonal bets, combination bets) that can be selected and combined independently. Each betting type represents a distinct segment of the overall betting structure, allowing players to mix and match different segments to create customized betting strategies without overwhelming system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The lottery system is designed with multi-functional capability to handle various betting types through a unified interface. The same system infrastructure supports simple single-row bets, complex multi-row combinations, column bets, diagonal bets, and hybrid combinations, making the system universally applicable to diverse betting preferences while maintaining structural efficiency
2Adaptability or versatility
If players can select complex combinations of bets, then player engagement increases, but the complexity of the picking system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures all possible betting combinations and validates their integrity before the player places bets. Common betting patterns are pre-defined and stored in the system, so when a player selects numbers, the system automatically identifies and presents all valid combination options that can be formed from those numbers, eliminating the need for players to manually calculate or verify combination validity
Solution Approach 2:
The system acts as an intermediary between the player's number selection and the actual betting execution. When a player enters numbers, the system automatically generates all possible combinations, calculates odds, determines bet costs, and presents organized betting options. This intermediary layer shields the player from the underlying complexity of combination mathematics while ensuring accurate bet placement
