A method of multiple pricing for a predetermined single jackpot in a single lottery
game is disclosed. For instance, a lottery ticket that is purchased for one dollar
can result in a ten million dollar win, a lottery ticket that is purchased for
two dollars can result in a twenty million dollar win, a lottery ticket that is
purchased for three dollars can result in a thirty million dollar win, etc. Further,
different winnings increments can be used. For instance, the three dollar ticket
can result in a forty million dollar win. In addition, the lottery prize can be
a variable prize that progressively increases with a percentage of each ticket
sold. The prizes are won from a single pool. For instance, even if the revenues
for the one dollar ticket do not cover the ten million dollar prize, the combined
revenues of the one dollar and the two dollar tickets are likely to cover the ten
million dollar prize and vice versa. In one embodiment, a shared multiple pricing
lottery game with a single pre-determined jackpot is disclosed.
