"This content provision agreement is one of several that we are negotiating and is precursor to other Lottery features that will be offered through major wireless providers", said Ach.

Cincinnati, Ohio-based, Games, Inc. owns and operates a portfolio of online portals focused on the delivery of interactive entertainment and content to consumers. The Company features two community-focused online game sites as well as proprietary games for purchase-and-download, conventional online play, peer-to-peer and tournament game play. Games, Inc. also features a digital greetings site and a site and proprietary back-end system for the online facilitation and reporting of state and provincially-sponsored Lotteries.
