Abstract

The games in which large amount of money is involved are always called into question about the existence of the possibility to manipulate the game for an immediate benefit. Lottery system is not an exception in this regard; moreover, it is a subject of rumours that the game is not as fair as it is pretended to be. After studying the advantages and drawbacks of conventional lottery systems, the authors are proposing an e-lottery system based on anonymous signatures. Even though the proposal is using electronic signatures, which imply complex calculus and the possession of digital certificates for each player, the proposed system compensates these drawbacks by increasing trust and confidence of both the players and the lottery organizer. This will lead to more players participating in the lottery, which translates to more revenue for the lottery and larger prizes for the players.
