Numbers Game (lotto)
This term can be used for any lottery game where winners are
determined by a random selection of numbers. However, it is
often used more specifically for a game where a player selects
three or four digits (0 to 9) and matches them with a similar
set selected at random by the lottery. The player can select
several different types of wagers with payoffs varying accordingly.
For example, players making a "straight" bet will
win $500 on a $1 bet if their three digits match the three digits
selected by the lottery in the same order.
