Weather lottery game
Abstract
The abstract consist of the following formula, Time (T) as
Choice Selection plus Weather (W) as Prediction equals Weather
Lottery Winner (WLW), T+W=WLW. The weather is recorded by lottery
sponsor, a twenty-four hour log. This log chart will be the
reference to determine which player will win. The player most
choose the right time which the sponsor draws randomly either
manual or computerized. Time as numbers is the equivalent of twenty
four as hours of the day. The weather chart will be a logged
weather condition recording for each hour. The time as a number
drawn will determine the weather number to be use as a match, to
win. The player who has selected the right choice of time as a
number and has predicted the proper weather match as a number, same
as sponsors random drawing pick and weather log match, is the
winner.

Description
[0001] Time, the twenty-four hours in a day are the selection
choices. The Weather (temperature, wind chill, wind velocity,
humidity, and dew point), are the predictions, per-hour. A log,
recording the time (hourly) with matching weather, is conducted by
sponsor. From hourly matching weather records, a random drawing of
one or more hours by dice or computer, is implemented. This hour
matched with weather number, same as drawing, per ticket, wins the
game.
[0002] Time and Temperature (One of Five Ways to Play)
[0003] The Time and Temperature is one of five ways to play the
Weather Lottery Game. All games are number (time) selection
choice--prediction (temperature) weather forecast games. This game
is design to play a number, base on a particular hour, that
corresponds with a precise temperature match, to win. If the random
drawing picks the hour and the right temperature forecast a player
predicts, per ticket, (refer to drawings), the ticket wins. The
other four ways to play the Weather Lottery Games are conceptually
the same. Time may be used with Dew Point, Wind Chill, Wind
velocity, and
[0004] Humidity to Play the Game.
[0005] Numbers:
[0006] Each ticket has up to twenty four hourly, zones of time.
Selection choice, each hour followed by a blank spot for
temperature (weather). A number between -150 to +150 can be played
as a prediction, to win the Weather Lottery number match. The
weather number is written or typed in the blank spot across from
the hour one chooses to predict the temperature (weather).
[0007] Numbers are selected by contestant, base on predicting the
weather forecast. The winning number is a time (hour)-temperature
(weather), "choice-predicted" game. One or more choices of time
(hour)-temperature (weather) per ticket shall be utilized and
implemented to play the game, sponsors decision.
[0008] Lottery Drawing:
[0009] Dice in numbers, up to twenty-four, are put into a container
for random pick. Also a series of up to twenty-four numbers, a
random-pick computerize program, may be utilized. This is the
particular hourly time zones playable. If less than twenty four
hours of weather is recorded, less numbers representing time zones
(hours), are put into the container or random-pick computerize
program. The dice numbers match twenty four hours in a day, the
time zones. The numbers (Hours) are labeled on dice shape squares
(diagram below illustrates). The sponsor of the game picks out one
or more dice numbers (Hours) at random or by random-pick
computerize program. This number(s) represents the hour(s) of the
day in which lottery players, must have chosen and be matched by
predicting temperature (weather) forecast, to win. After betting
hours, temperature (weather) is recorded hour by hour, by
particular weather instrument, necessary for potential winning
time-weather number. The next day will produce winning time-weather
number matches, for random-pick.
[0010] NOTE: A INCREASE IN TIME ZONE (HOURS) SELECTION, OUT OF
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, WILL INCREASE DIFFICULTIES IN THE ODDS TO WIN.
USING ALL TWENTY-FOUR HOURS ON THE TICKET FOR WEATHER RECORDING
MAKES ODDS MOST DIFFICULT.
EXAMPLE
[0011] Starting at 7:00 pm to 7:00 am the next day, a hourly
temperature log is recorded. After 7:00 am the day of the drawing,
a dice with a number (Hour) is picked out a container or
random-pick computerized, to determine matching temperature
forecast already logged. The person with the proper time and
temperature wins. Each player will register their numbers after
7:00 am and before 7:00 pm, to qualify for the next days drawing
Note: Sponsor may choose their own "playing the game time zones",
also game rules and schedule.
[0012] Note: "playing the game time zones" means number of hours as
dice equal to time (hours) to play, before drawing.
[0013] One number per ticket, shall be utilized, unless sponsor
wants to change the odds of winning.
[0014] NOTE: A NON-DISCLOSED LOCATION FOR WEATHER RECORDING PER
STATE, NATION, OR INTERNATIONALLY MAKES ODDS OF WINNING GREATER.
HOWEVER A SUGGESTED BOUNDARY TERRITORY, WITHIN ISLAND, STATE, OR
NATION IS RECOMMENDED, FOR WEATHER RECORDING.
[0015] The following is a description of the numbers utilized as
dice; Note: The actual dice shall be equally square in shape and
weight.

Forecast Results
[0016] The forecast results shall be base on weather recorded, up
to a twenty-four hour weather log day. A dice number is drawn out a
bag (any container with the twenty four dice) or random
computerized program. This time (hour) by dice number is matched
with a recorded logged temperature (weather) result. The lottery
contestant who's lottery ticket chosen hour has the same hourly
time (circled, underlined, or high-lited) and temperature chosen
(written or typed in empty block), wins.
DESCRIPTION
[0017] There are five ways to play this Weather Lottery. The game
is a random choice of time zones (hours), (dice labeled from 1 to
24, #13 dice being 1:00 pm, in the afternoon) with weather
(Temperature) as a match to win. The player must choose the right
time and predict the number which represent this hourly time zone
weather (Temperature) result(s). Refer to lottery tickets in
drawing section, for a detail look, back pages. Each player
randomly chooses a number from 1 up to 24, as hours in a day. This
number must be match with a prediction by weather number
(Temperature). A random drawing of the hourly time zone, matched by
logged weather, identical to ticket player's numbers, time-weather,
(temperature, humidity, wind chill, dew point, and wind velocity),
is the player to win the lottery.
EXAMPLE
[0018] Time--Temperature (One of the Five Ways to Play)
[0019] If a ticket player chooses 3:00 am and predicts +30 (stands
for 30 degrees), written or typed in the corresponding blank box,
the lottery number played is 3:00 am lottery prediction #30. If a
player chooses 2:00 pm and predict -5 (stands for minus five
degrees), written or typed in the corresponding blank box, the
lottery number played is 2:00 pm, lottery prediction #-5. The
hourly time zones are given 1 up to 24 (12:00 am to 11:00 pm) for a
circle, underline, or high-lite. Coinciding, are blank spots to
predict the temperature. Refer to back pages (drawings) for a look
at the actual tickets.
DRAWING
[0020] The numbers representing hourly time zone, is a random pick
out of a container, or random number, computerized program,
drawing. This number is needed, for corresponding temperature, to
win. One out of twenty-four hourly time zone numbers, is circled,
underlined, or high-lited to guess a corresponding weather. This is
a time (number) matching corresponding spot weather (number),
lottery system. This is a random time selection choice--weather
prediction, matching number(s), lottery game. Right hour as
selection choice plus right weather prediction that hour, is
required to win the Weather Lottery Game.
[0021] The same procedure is used all five ways to play,
Temperature, Humidity, Wind Chill, Dew Point, and Wind Velocity,
The matches are Time--Temperature, Time--Humidity, Time--Wind
Chill, Time--Dew Point, Time--Wind Velocity. The game may be played
by solo time--prediction match (example-time-temperature), any
combination (example-time-temperatu- re and time--wind chill), or
all five, to win.
[0022] Note: This Weather Lottery Game, weather log, may be
recorded at a disclosed or non-disclosed location, for game play,
sponsors decision.
[0023] Note: This Weather Lottery Game, may use a non-disclosed
location format for weather logging to prevent the following:
[0024] 1. Weather reports having a advantage in lottery playing
[0025] 2. Time in which numbers are played has less of a
advantage
[0026] 3. All participants have a equal chance of playing the
Weather Lottery Game
[0027] NOTE Time-Humidity (humidity percentage shall be number(s)
played) Time-Dew Point (dew point shall be instrument reading as
number(s) played)
[0028] Time-Wind Velocity (shall be Mile per hour as number(s)
played)
[0029] Time-Wind Chill (chill shall be temperature as number(s)
played)
[0030] Time-Temperature (temperature may be in degrees as number(s)
played)
Instructions
[0031] A step by step procedure for play:
[0032] 1. Tickets available (See attached drawings) for betting. On
tickets, a hourly time zone to circle, underline or hi-lite, as
choice. Across from each time zone (hour), is a blank box for
temperature (weather) prediction. Circle, underline, or hi-lite one
number (time) coinciding write one prediction number as temperature
(weather), per ticket. Time circled, underlined, or hi-lited is a
match for each blank box for a written or typed temperature
(weather) predicted.
[0033] 2. Tickets most be filled out and turn in before a stated
time to sponsor, to qualify for the drawing.
[0034] 3. A hourly time--temperature (weather) is recorded and
logged by lottery sponsor. For every hour a temperature (weather)
is recorded within game time zone (hours) as a log. This log will
be the bases for ticket entry selection choice and number
predictions, from 1:00 am to 12:00 pm, or any sub-set of time.
These are the hour selection choices for predicting the temperature
(weather).
[0035] 4. A next day random pick, out of a hat as dice or random
computerized program, time (hourly), as a number, from the hourly
time zone recorded, shall decide which temperature (weather)
logged, will be the time--temperature (weather) match number, to
win.
[0036] 5. Time--Temperature, time--humidity, time--dew point,
time--wind chill, and time--wind velocity will be five ways to play
the games. One or more Weather Lottery Games may be implemented by
sponsor.
[0037] See ticket drawing details, for all five tickets to play the
game.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0038] The Weather Lottery is the first of its kind, involving
selection choice for prediction, in the arena of gambling and prize
games. A similar game is the State Lottery systems. However State
games are purely random choice. The Weather Lottery is a selection
choice base on twenty-four hours in a day, to predict a weather
forecast. Its a prediction games, yet different from casino Keno,
horse and dog racing numbers. Weather conditions however are
included in horse and dog racing. The Weather Lottery, is a bet on
the weather itself, part of nature, just like animals.
[0039] Time and weather makes the Weather Lottery playable. Time as
a selection choice, decides the potential of a winning weather
prediction. Choose the right time within twenty-four hours, if
random drawing comes up with that time, ones weather prediction
qualifies for a prediction match, which is the makes-up of a
winning ticket. If one predict at the random drawing time the
correct weather forecast, logged results, the ticket is a winner.
Its gambling with nature, yet different from horses and dogs, the
State lottery, Keno, or other lottery games (Broadcast Lottery, see
Cross Reference to Related Appl.)
