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.
