Press Release Summary: Lottery Mate Eliminates the Mess from Ticket Shavings

Press Release Body: Canton, MI - March 18, 2008 -Wharro, LLC announced today the
launch of Lottery Mate, a new product that alleviates the shavings mess of
scratch-off instant tickets and provides convenient storage of lottery related
items. The Lottery Mate provides an innovative solution to an industry where
Scratch-Offs, Instant Tickets and Scratchers are sold at over 240,000 lottery
retailers in the U.S. alone with sales of $29 Billion a year.

The Lottery Mate has a large, hard surface on which to scratch off tickets. Its
unique design allows shavings to empty into a sealed gutter where they are stored
inside the unit until emptied, eliminating the mess of shavings on car seats,
couches, tables, or anywhere scratch-off tickets are played.

"As a scratch-off player myself, I got tired of the mess from shavings, always
having to search for a hard surface to play my tickets and constant worry of
misplacing potentially winning tickets," says Wharro CEO Rick Schacht. "The Lottery
Mate is for scratch-off players who want a place to enjoy scratch tickets without
the usual hassles."

The Lottery Mate's unique design eliminates messy shavings, but also comes with all
of the other features that make scratch-off playing more convenient, including:

. Large storage area for lottery related items like tickets of all sizes, betting
slips and pencil

. Hard surface for scratching with patented "shavings gutter" to alleviate mess
. Lucky coin holder

. Comfortable playing edge to rest hands while scratching

After receiving the Lottery Mate as a gift, Jeff Kennedy of Ann Arbor proclaimed,
"It's about time someone came up with something like this for us lottery players.
Now I have a place to play and store all of my tickets, and I don't have to deal
with messy shavings anymore. I always use it, even when I'm playing only one or two
instant tickets."

Lottery Mate is available online at www.mylotterymate.com or in select retail
outlets across the country where lottery tickets are sold.
