A method and system for playing a lottery type game include a gaming piece (340) which includes a predetermined code (steps 11, 17) having data indicating whether a player wins or loses the game (steps 19, 26, 54), the data being unrecognizable to the player such that the player does not know the outcome of the game prior to play of the game. The code is stored on the gaming piece (340) in a memory device (342). The gaming piece is reusable with different codes. The code is read by a processor (360). The processor presents an amusement game (366, 368, 370) on a display for play by the player, and the player controls game play by inputting game parameters to the processor. The processor controls the outcome of the amusement game played by the player based upon the code (steps 19, 54, 372). A display provides an indication to the player of a game win or loss based on the code.
