World Lotto 2000 Offers More to Celebrate

02/06/1999

NASSAU, BAHAMAS - June 2, 1999 (Press Release Network):
Styke International announces the official launch of World Lotto 2000, , the lottery celebrating the New Millennium. The lottery is expected to be one of the biggest Global Millennium Events planned.

More than two years in development, organizers have invested over $1,000,000 in high tech software, hardware and security to achieve this key objective: to be a Premium Lottery that offers players great value while capturing the anticipation, excitement and grandeur of the coming of the New Millennium. To add to the fun, World Lotto 2000 offers visitors a chance to have posted what they would do if they won the largest single cash prize in history. Co-Founder Steve Reynolds comments, "Reading people's dreams of winning the lottery can be somewhat of a roller coaster, some are heart breaking and some are very uplifting. Surprisingly, most dreams are prefaced with something very thoughtful like giving to charity or helping family members with medical expenses from an illness."

World Lotto 2000 also aims to produce the single largest cash prize in history. The Super Grand Prize, originally set at $250,000,000 USD, had organizers scrambling when the US Powerball Lottery grand prize hit almost $300,000,000. To counter any larger unforeseen jackpots, World Lotto 2000 upped its Super Grand Prize to a $500,000,000 USD lump sum, ensuring its place in the annals of history.

The lottery has a total prize pool of 1.6 billion dollars with 822 Million Dollar Plus draws in addition to the Super Grand Prize. Of these draws, 400 are Early Bird Bonus Draws awarded prior to the year 2000. To add to the excitement, players can win up to $25,000 instantly. There will also be special draws similar to the Mother's Day Draw that was held on May 7, 1999.

The most recent winners of World Lotto 2000 are Terry and Terri Wise from Alberta, Canada. They won $5,000 USD in the Mother's Day Draw. The timing was great for the Wises' win, since their first child, Rachel, was born the following day. With a new addition to the family, the prize money will come in handy. "We plan to pay off our vehicle loan and start a college fund for Rachel," Wise said. Their winning ticket is still eligible for the Grand Prize Draws on January 1, 2000.

All draws will be held LIVE at the Tropical Casino in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic (where the lottery is licensed). The draws began March 19, 1999 and will continue through July 1, 2000. The Super Grand Prize drawing will take place January 1, 2000 at 12:01 a.m. EST. Organizers are planning to broadcast the Super Grand Prize Draws LIVE over the Internet.

In order to produce a truly Global Event, tickets are available only through the Internet -- the medium of the New Millennium. At the price of $100 USD per ticket, the lottery offers great value. Market research shows that regular lottery players spend between $500-$1000 on lottery products per year, so a Premium Lottery at $100 is a comparatively attractive product. Even occasional and non-lottery players are playing.

Due to the initial success of World Lotto 2000, organizers are developing other lottery products as well as a unique online bingo game to be launched around the turn of the millennium.
