Keno lottery number generator

Abstract

A universal random number generator for placing a bets in a variety of lottery number games comprising: a generally rectangular transparent casing for supporting a drinking vessel having a vertical outer wall for confining spillage from said drinking vessel, a set of numbered disks, a series of traps for capturing some of the numbered disks and a mask in covering relationship to the numbered disks. The mask has a window for exposing some of the numbered disks in one of the traps when the generator is shaken. The number generator is adapted to a specific lottery by providing a pre-assigned number of disks and mask with a pre-assigned window size.

1 . A random number generator for placing a bets in a variety of lottery number games, said number generator comprising: a generally rectangular shaped casing, said casing having a transparent upper portion and an adjoining lower portion, said upper portion having a horizontal planar portion for supporting a drinking vessel and a short vertical wall around a periphery of said upper portion for confining spillage from said drinking vessel to said horizontal portion, said lower portion having a horizontal planar portion for supporting a drinking vessel when said generator is inverted and a short vertical wall around a periphery of said lower portion for spacing said horizontal portion away from said horizontal wall of said upper portion for storing numbered disks and confining spillage from said drinking vessel to said inverted horizontal portion and a series of traps adjacent to the outer sides of said lower portion for capturing numbered disks; a set of disks on opposite sides of said generator, each of said disks having a number on one side of said disk; and a mask in covering relationship to said numbered disks, said mask having a window for exposing some of said numbered disks in one of said traps. 
     
     
         2 . The random number generator recited in  claim 1  wherein said lower casing portion is transparent, said disks having identical numbers on opposite sides of said disks, said generator further comprising a second mask in covering relationship to said numbered disks when said generator is inverted, said second mask having a window for exposing some of said numbered disks in one of said traps. 
     
     
         3 . The random number generator recited in  claim 1  wherein said mask is adhesively applied to an outside surface of said upper casing portion. 
     
     
         4 . The random number generator recited in  claim 1  wherein said mask is adhesively applied to an inner surface of said upper casing portion. 
     
     
         5 . The random number generator recited in  claim 1  wherein said mask is printed on an outer surface of said upper casing portion. 
     
     
         6 . The random number generator recited in  claim 1  wherein said mask is printed on an inner surface of said upper casing portion. 
     
     
         7 . A random number generator for placing a bets in a variety of lottery number games, said number generator comprising: a generally rectangular transparent casing for supporting a drinking vessel in upright and inverted positions; a vertical outer wall for confining spillage from said drinking vessel to at least one of said supporting positions and a trap in an interior of said casing adjacent to each side of said rectangular transparent casing for capturing numbered disks when said casing is shaken; a set of numbered disks in said interior of said number generator; and a mask in covering relationship to said numbered disks, said mask having a window for exposing some of said numbered disks in said traps. 
     
     
         8 . The random number generator recited in  claim 7  wherein each of said disks have identical numbers on opposite sides of said disk, 
     
     
         9 . The random number generator recited in  claim 8  further comprising a second mask, said second mask having a window for exposing some of said numbered disks in said traps when said generator is inverted. 
     
     
         10 . The random number generator recited in  claim 7  further comprising a second widow for exposing additional numbered disks in said traps. 
     
     
         11 . A random number generator for placing bets in a variety of lottery number games, said number generator comprising: a generally rectangular transparent casing a series of traps in an interior of said casing for capturing numbered disks when said casing is shaken; a set of numbered disks in said interior of said number generator; and a mask in covering relationship to said numbered disks, said mask having a window for exposing numbered disks in one of said traps.
