A system and method for performing integrated lottery ticket and merchandise
transactions
using a point-of-sale terminal that generates a single sales receipt containing
all pertinent lottery ticket and merchandise transaction information. The lottery
tickets generated include fractional value and "quick-pick" lottery tickets. A
group of point-of-sale terminals are connected to a POS controller which communicates
with a lottery data processing system. An encrypted authentication code also printed
on the sales receipt allows the lottery player to verify all lottery ticket transaction
information, as needed.
