Island Lottery has chosen the Company for instant-ticket printing services,
under a secondary three-year contract, commencing July 1, 2007. The
contract also provides for three one-year extension options, and is the
result of a competitive procurement. Under the terms of the contract, GTECH
will receive 20 percent of the Lottery's total instant-ticket orders.
GTECH's instant- ticket printing subsidiary, Creative Games International
