A method for conducting a lottery second chance game program defines a quorum condition for entry into a second chance games, wherein a plurality of losing game tickets in a primary lottery game are needed to satisfy the quorum conditions. A quorum value is assigned to the game tickets and is linked to a unique identifier on each game ticket. Game ticket data is received from entries by players of losing game tickets, including the unique identifiers. The quorum value for the entered losing game tickets is applied to the quorum conditions for the second chance games. A prize value is established for each of the second chance games that appears to the player as a rolling prize that varies over time but is a fixed amount predetermined by one of the losing game tickets used to satisfy the quorum condition for the respective second chance game.
