Zusammenfassung:A multiple play gaming ticket, such as a pull-tab ticket 10 or "instant winner" lottery ticket, and a coordinating validation system. To deter fraud, a validation code 24 is provided which uniquely identifies the pull-tab ticket 10 and is not merely a representation of the indicia 22. The pull-tab ticket 10 is validated by a combination of validator machine 30 and a host computer 100. The validator machine reads the validation code and relays it the host computer to check for legitimacy (i.e., proper form and availability) and to correlate it to a stored record of gaming indicia 22. The gaming ticket of the present invention can be used in connection with fixed payouts, progressive jackpots or both. The progressive jackpot is increased by a predetermined amount each time a gaming ticket is inserted into a validation machine.
