The original game tickets were produced using manual randomization techniques. In 1974 the American company Scientific Games led by scientist John Koza and retail promotions specialist Daniel Bower produced the first computer generated instant lottery game. In 1987, Astro-Med, Inc. of West Warwick, Rhode Island, received the U.S. Patent for the instant scratch off lottery ticket.
