Abstract

See full text

A lotto game having a jackpot prize level and at least one subordinate prize level and which is played simultaneously in a plurality of jurisdictions or countries. A fixed amount from each ticket sold in all partner countries/jurisdictions is accumulated in a super prize pool that is split by winners in more than one prize level. The amount of the jackpot prize, the subordinate prizes, and the ticket prices can be different in each participating jurisdiction. These prizes are made pari-mutuel and are gauged relative to a fictional or reference currency. A determination made of each prize level for each jurisdiction as per the rules set by that jurisdiction is made in the reference currency, adjustments are made to normalize the prize back to a local currency, and prizes are awarded on a pari-mutuel basis for each prize level.
