1. A method for generating an instant lottery ticket, the method comprising:
providing a two-dimensional database storing a plurality of different art indicia in a first dimension of the database and a plurality of different copies of each of the plurality of different art indicia in a second dimension of the database;
using a Genesis Seed to:
(i) select one of the plurality of different art indicum from the first dimension of the database, and
(ii) select one of the different copies of the selected first art indicium from the second dimension of the database;
repeating (i) and (ii) until a quantity of different copies of the selected art indicia are selected to provide variable art indicia required for an instant lottery ticket; and
using the Genesis Seed to generate an unique arrangement of the selected copies of the selected art indicia to be printed on a substrate of the instant lottery ticket, wherein the combination of the database and the Genesis Seed can create only one possible arrangement of the selected copies of the selected art indicia, and causing the arranged art indicium to be saved in a non-volatile memory device.
