STAMFORD, Conn.--(PRIME NEWSWIRE)--May 5, 2008
Similar Patents Received From U.S., China and Canadian
Governments
eLOT, Inc. announced
today it had received a patent from the Australian government for
eLOTTERY's e-commerce system that will facilitate Internet sales of
lottery tickets in the country's six States and two Mainland
Territories with a screening and verification function on the Internet.
The company is a leading application service provider of Internet
marketing, advertising and e-commerce technologies for
government-operated lotteries that now include the United States,
China, the provinces of Canada; and Australia with its population of 21
million.
Specifically, Australian Patent #2002336547 covers the eLOT system that
1.) Enables lottery administrators to receive player and ticket
information; 2.) Screens and verifies that players satisfy State and
Territory eligibility criteria; 3.) Stores player and ticket
information; and 4.) Determines winning ticket numbers and notifies
winners upon receipt of those numbers.
"We believe the economic climate in Australia's main population centers
appears very favorable to expanding the sales and distribution of
lottery products to the Internet," according to eLOT Chief Operating
Officer Michael Yacenda. "Research we've done in the U.S. indicates
that the on-line sale of lottery tickets using our Internet technology
and knowledge of consumer e-marketing practices could boost ticket
purchases by as much as 15 percent, and we feel a similar scenario is
possible in Australia," he said.
