United Trading.com Announces Completion of Software for Two Planned Internet Lotteries
Final Government Negotiations In Progress
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10, 2000--United Trading.com (OTCBB:UTDT - news) Friday announced that it has completed software and instant credit card clearing links for two planned Internet lotteries.

Final negotiations with two separate sovereign countries as partners for each of the Internet lotteries are currently in progress.

The Internet domain names for the two planned lottery sites are http://www.paradiselotto.com and
http://www.onlinesuperlotto.com.

It is planned that a portion of the lottery proceeds will be distributed to both local and international charities currently planned to include education, health, welfare and environmental causes.

United Trading.com (``the company') believes that the economies which can be achieved using its proprietary fully automated technology based on the company's proven Praxis gaming/sportsbook software will permit the return of a substantially larger percentage of lottery receipts in player prizes than that available from lotteries using land-based technology and marketing, as well providing very attractive returns for the government/charities and the company.

``Based on successful conclusion of the current negotiations with two separate sovereign countries, it is expected that the first Internet lottery will be operational in this calendar quarter and the second Internet lottery will be operational in the first quarter of 2001.

``The company believes that its planned 'cause' driven online lottery will prove to be the premium lottery experience available for players throughout the world,' said company President Norman Wright.

The total worldwide annual lottery ticket sales for 200 government, national, state and foreign lotteries has been estimated to be approximately $200 billion or approximately $60 million annual sales per lottery.
